The difference between legal rules and moral rules has to do with laws and how we behave regarding a moral code. Legal rules are based on laws that are set forth for us to follow. Moral rules have to do with a person's ethics. For example, it is not illegal to keep money that is found, but a person of high morals might try to return the money to the proper owner.
A moral code is that by which all decent people live by, it is that which is acceptable to society. It can also a principle of wrong or conforming to standards of behaviour and character based on wrongful principles -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Morality, as defined by Socrates, is "how we ought to live". Furthermore it can be explained as: Standards, laws, or rules within a group, or society. A moral code is a set of standards, laws, or rules that we hold ourselves to, whether they be based on religious affiliation, events that have happened in our life, or just from observing the world around us. Often people derive their moral code from bits and pieces of all of these. Moral codes do not specifically have to be accepted by society as a whole, merely they have to be accepted by the society with which you associate, or the group you affiliate with. The best moral codes are constantly being re-evaluated and evolving, just as the best people are constantly growing.

No religion that I have ever heard of, and if you think of Christians this way you must have a very strange group living in your town. If such a religion does exist try a broader search into religion and not just Christianity, as we do adhere to moral rules though some of us (including me) believe that God created us with inherent knowledge of right from wrong (though whether or not you obey these instincts is up to you).
A:Some say that religious instruction is the foundation of moral life. If this were true, we should find higher moral standards among religious people than among those of no faith, but the evidence is that there is no such distinction.One foundation of moral life must be our conscience, whether this is innate or an attribute learnt as children. It is those with a clear sense of conscience who demonstrate honest behaviour. Another foundation of moral life is a sense of empathy. Empathy distinguishes us, at the extreme, from psychopaths. Empathy also gives us reason to help others.
Most religions teach morals through the use of stories and anecdotes. For example, the Bible is full of stories that try to teach us to act a certain way. Each story has moral to it. They also try to teach us moral values through strict rules, like the 10 commandments. If you don't follow the rules, you may be punished in the afterlife, so fear is also used to help enforce the morals they teach.
One definition of ethics is the study of moral principles. Based on that definition, some say that ethics has no place in religion because we are required to obey God's law, not study or criticise it. Others see ethics as broadly encompassing moral principles and the rules for understanding and applying them. The Bible contains some fairly general moral principles but does not cover every situation, nor does it tell us what to do when we have conflicting moral obligations. Ethics can provide the guidance missing from the Bible.
A:Morality is defined as being concerned with acceptable standards of human behaviour. Moral principles are what define us as good people. Religious faith is simply a personal choice to follow a particular religion and has little or nothing to do with moral issues.
US President Woodrow Wilson created an administration based on Moral Diplomacy. The idea was to support countries that had the same moral beliefs as the US.

It dose not tell you that you have to live by its rules. It's a guide to lead you to the heavens when you die. If you disagree with it, then follow your own path, it forces nothing.
The Torah made us autonomous in our morals because it insisted that we not learn from the beliefs or lifestyles of the surrounding nations (Leviticus ch.18, Deuteronomy ch.18). The Torah gave us moral rules which in many cases were strikingly different from the surrounding nations. See the attached Related Link.
