Hi,
"Love"?
Enlightened self interest is sufficient and central to 'treat others as you would be treated'. It is the basis of all rational laws, of the social compacts that lead to non-oppressive government, indeed, of all the 'good' attributed to religion. The only love involved is love of self.
I can think of absolutely nothing that a love of god does. Indeed, I can't even understand what it means.
