All of these moral guides are enforced by an all seeing all knowing deity, that will make those who do not follow or do not believe suffer. This relates to modern society. In modern society, people adhere to the state, and the rules set forth by the state. The state can be likened to a religion in this sense. People have always looked for some sort of order, and earlier in history the order was mostly through religion, and religion dictated how things were governed. Even in today's society you can see religious aspects in governance.

This means that it would be taught that Judaism, Islam, and Christianity are all monotheistic and have the same God, while Buddhism has no apparent external god and Hinduism has as many or as few gods as the believer chooses. Other topics would include the sacred texts of each group, such as the Old and New Testament of the Bible, the Koran, the three "baskets," and the Suriti, Smriti, and Vedas.
