What virtues does it want people to build?

God-consciousness first; then honesty, justice, mercy, patience, gratitude, humility, generosity — and repelling evil with what is better (Qur'an 41:34).

Intellectual honesty above all — believing according to evidence and admitting error — then courage to face facts without false consolation, compassion, fairness, and curiosity. Russell summed up the good life as one 'inspired by love and guided by knowledge.'

Intellectual honesty above all; then humility, tolerance, fairness to opponents, and the courage to say 'I do not know' when saying it costs something. Huxley presented these as the working virtues of the method.

Faith, hope, and love — 'the greatest of these is love' (1 Corinthians 13:13) — with the Beatitudes' humility, mercy, purity of heart, and peacemaking, and the Spirit's fruit: joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, self-control (Galatians 5:22–23). Its most distinctive demand is forgiveness — even of enemies.

Justice, kindness (chesed), and humility — 'do justice, love mercy, walk humbly with your God' — with truthfulness, gratitude, holiness, and love of learning. The Mussar movement built an entire discipline of character-training around such traits.

Lovingkindness, compassion, joy in others' good, and equanimity — the four «divine abidings» — along with generosity, patience, truthfulness, mindfulness, and wisdom. The Metta Sutta asks the practitioner to cherish all beings as a mother protects her only child.

The Yoga Sutras' restraints and observances — non-violence (ahimsa), truthfulness, non-stealing, self-control, contentment, self-study — and the Gita's "divine qualities": fearlessness, charity, compassion toward all beings, gentleness, and freedom from anger and pride.

Five above all — truth, contentment, compassion, humility, and love — crowned with courage, because the ideal Sikh must be saintly and brave at once.

Civic virtues: tolerance, fairness, honesty in public argument, the discipline of defending rights for people you disagree with, and what Rawls called civility — giving fellow citizens reasons they can actually share.

Reason, honesty, compassion, fairness, tolerance, courage, and responsibility. Kurtz catalogued them as the ‘common moral decencies’ — kindness, truthfulness, keeping promises — plus excellences of character such as self-discipline and creativity.

Tolerance, fairness, honesty in dealings, civility toward opponents, independence of mind, and civic courage. Mill prized individuality — the strength to live by one's own considered judgment; Tocqueville praised the habit of joining with others for common ends.

Justice and fairness; courage to dissent from custom; solidarity among women and their allies; honesty about one's own biases; and care — attentiveness to the vulnerable — which some feminists develop into a full ethic.

Loyalty, solidarity, courage in the nation's defense, public service, and love of its language, land, and story. Mazzini put duty before rights: life's worth is measured by what one gives the nation and, through it, humanity.
