As the cliche goes, we are all one with everything. It's all the Big Enchilada, and we are all connected, both literally and figuratively. If you consider that we are all part of the whole, and that what happens to one of us happens to all of us -- be we human, nonhuman, or otherwise -- then you understand what "sacred" means. There is no need to believe in God, or multiple gods, or some other such unknowable and unprovable mythology, to believe that because we all all part of the universe, we must treat each other with respect and compassion.
