I've read up about something called 'negative utilitarian' which i think i might lean towards. I really liked reading about what Kant had to say: Although he was a Christian himself he didn't use Christian principals so much as an understanding of morality but rather as a foundation point.

Since my heritage is somewhat Scottish from the Cameron Clan (rep rep gangster ) I also really found comfort in Protestant Presbyterianism for their big emphasis on: education, life-long learning, generosity, hospitality, and the constant pursuit of social justice and reform.

Karma is a pretty cool idea, but i read somewhere that it has the fault of if you are motivated to do good because it comes back around to you you already undermine the main principles in it of goodness and unselfishness.
