The Golden rule is a maximun ethical code or morality that esentially states either of the following:

Because is arguably the most essential basis for the modern concept of Human Rights.

3) In wich culture can we find the Golden Rule?
You can find the Golden Rule in western culture: Babylon, Egypt, Persia, India,Greece, Judea, China...

4)Why do we have to respect the Golden Rule?
Because if we don't respect the main ethic rule, we can't belive that the other people respect any ethic rule, and probably without ethics rules the world won't work well.

You don't have to have religion valves to be a ethic person.
