There’s no reason we can’t have a moral baseline based on philosophy, community and intrinsic fairness. What we need is secular education without an arbitrary morality being preached based on some sort of sky fairy.
That’s been tried in the West pretty much since the days of Nietzsche without any moral development. I mean, Western imperialism is as naked as it could ever be today. 🤷 But maybe, sure, maybe.
No worse that the faux morality that comes from religion. And generally a lot better as it can be questioned, discussed and improved. There are plenty of Western countries where religious dogma is no longer connected to governance. It’s really mostly just the U.S. that has regressed.
