Regardless of the names and forms we attribute to Our Mutual Creatorial Agency, the sense of decency and worthiness of life is a common thread to most religions. You see, It does not mater whether you believe in the Creator. It really doesn't. Aside that fact that I exist, I can kill anyone I want to. Our creator trusts us enough that we all have the mental and physical ability to take other lives and snuff them out.
People still do, on rare occasion, kill each other.
I know several people who did kill others in the course of several wars, and even had that tried on me a few times. I have a deep spiritual respect for life, that I choose not to take other lives, at least not the lives of semi-sentient beings. Our Creator has given us the power to wreak creation, and has faith that we are wholesome enough inside that we won't. Maybe then, we can let ourselves feel a little of that feeling of warmth on our spine from above. Healing is not something somebody does TO you.
