God we believe in makes no requirement but has given us the gift of reason and logic to figure what is right or wrong for ourselves.

The belief that God makes no requirement sounds like something created out of thin air (unless you have something or someone to point to as having heard God say that).

But the other part of your statement seems to be true just by our experience. It does seem that God has written his rules "on our hearts."

To quote Thomas Paine “God reveals himself in the creation we behold”.

In other words the complexity of the universe makes it evident there is an intelligent creator, we see no direct evidence that the creator intervenes in the affairs of man. Bible doesn’t count because it is only hearsay not direct evidence.

Perhaps the creator did write the rules in our heart as we see the in the empathy we naturally feel for those in pain.
