But the more I read and learn, the more I realize that all religions have their '12 commandments' ... which in summary all basically say 'dont do bad things to other living things'.

So you skipped Islam? ;-)

For that matter, some religions have such rules as you say but they only apply to other believers. Moses has 10 Commandments but apparently "Thou shalt not kill" only applies to other Jews. I believe the more correct interpretation would be "though shalt not murder". Leviticus is filled with recommended punishments of death by stoning for such offenses as disobeying your parents or having same-sex relations.
