Like religious people knew anything about morality.

They certainly seem the most hateful, from all religions.

The trick is to not follow organized religion. You don't need to if you have a good soul, since you have your own inner guidance.

I dare to say that anyone who follows a book blindly has lost their way completely.

Organized religion helps keep you accountable, so you don't just change your beliefs in response to your wants. Everyone's susceptible to cognitive dissonance without a concrete root.

The trick is to not follow legalistic religion*. You don't become moral by following rules, you follow rules because you're moral.

*This comment is not directed at Islam in particular. I don't know enough about them to say whether they're legalistic in general.

You say this like it's not possible to be moral without religion.

so you don’t just change your beliefs in response to your wants

You do that anyway all the time. It's just that crappy people want to believe in what you do.

You do it all the time unless you have a concrete root to keep you accountable. You can't get away with "oh, a little stealing's not a big deal" if you're committed to a written moral code that says any stealing is wrong.
