I was raised Catholic, but have turned out not to be very religious. However, there are still a lot of things that I find to be sacred.

1. Art and Nature of all kinds are the most important things of all. Nature is everything that is beautiful in its natural state, and should be loved and protected. Art is the meaningful work, be it music, or painting, or dance, or writing, or whatever, that is the epitome of human expression, so should also be protected and revered.

2. All life is sacred and beautiful, and should be revered above all else.

3. All the people who ever died for a noble cause are worthy of respect, followed by all the other dead.

4. All the people that I love are important to me.

5. Freedom is important to me, because without freedom, is life really worth living?

6. Love is also important as the greatest of the emotions of all sentient beings (including animals). This is the other thing that makes life worth living.

Hmmm. . . I think that's a good list. . .

Oh, wait!! The Mudcat, and all the wonderful people I've met here are the proof that good exists in the world. . . well, the Mudcat and every other good thing in the world. . .
