Religion need not be ethical. Religion and ethics are two different things. Religion is based on belief and common practices of a section of people; they act according to the sanctions of the religion, but those sanctions may or may not be ethical. Ethics is purely concern with morality. Religion may or may not have moral sanctions.

Religion is dictated by a God or gods and helps us remember to have good ethical behavior, but ethics are a personal choice. Some people don't follow violent religions because of ethics. People do not have to practice a religion to follow a code of ethics. Furthermore, religion often brings with it spiritual and mythical beliefs that don't necessarily related to ethics

Why do Maryland schools allow Muslim prayer?

The United States Bill of Rights allows for freedom of religion without discrimination against any religion. I don't know that Maryland schools do allow Muslim prayers, but there is no reason not to. There are schools all over the country that allow religious clubs say prayers everyday. Your question smacks of discrimination and prejudice because someone is Muslim. That is against the constitution.

When is a photograph considered unethical?

I believe that a photograph is unethical when it misrepresents a business, a person or a belief intentionally. If a photograph causes emotional strain or stress to someone grieving the loss of a loved one, even a pet, I believe that it is unethical to post it.
