Animals with tooth and claws seem violent in nature and it seems morality is an attribute exclusively of humans. Wrong. Animals are more laws / rules bound I point of fact. Naturalists know it more than us. And I as an observer have watched this deeply. I love to study behaviors of animals, insects, birds and even plants.
Monkeys move in groups. Bees, ants are the common types they work in togetherness all the time. I am neither a naturalist nor a scientist. I am simply an inquisitive homo-sapiens.
This is a little bit philosophical or logical argument in essence. Of course animals have little to do with God even if we have gone through mythologies that animals and birds too love God. There are plenty of stories in Hinduism that animals too love God. In actuality God is an idea invented by man when he climbed the ladder of civilization evolutionarily. The topics of God, religion and morality are mutually inclusive ideas. Morality has to do with equality, rules, regulations, systems. Animals, birds, insects are more guided by codes of conducts and moral order in point of fact. Many animals, birds, insects always choose to parade rather than move alone. When one moves in groups they will have to sacrifice or compromise with their packs. Religiosity has to do with morality and of course out of two wings of religion-one morality and the other belief in God, animals are always superbly religious if not believers of God. That means animals are religious, spiritual as well.
Religion, morality, socialism are evolutionary concepts where as the existence of God is a different issue in point of fact. If God exists animals must be closer to God for they obey God more than humans for they follow natural laws but we break them.
