See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Answer: Traditional Jews believe in absolute morality backed by G-d's authority, and liberal Jews tend to hold similar moral principles, even if doubting their divine origin. Thus, "good" implies "observes those moral principles that one is obligated to follow." According to Judaism, gentiles have seven categories of mitzvot that they must follow, and do not need Jewish law or organized religion. But it's their privilege to organize to worship, should they so choose. See the answer in [5]Section 12.19 for more information on these categories.
