Old utopians may die, but utopianism never does fade away. While speaking at a summit of Nobel Peace Prize winners in Warsaw on Monday, Nobel Laureate and former Polish president Lech Walesa added Modern-day Moses of Magog to his résumé, advocating a “secular Ten Commandments” as a basis for universal values. Said Walesa, “We need to agree on common values for all religions as soon as possible, a kind of secular Ten Commandments on which we will build the world of tomorrow,” reports France 24.

LMAO!!
Yeah, the wisdom, authority and commandments of secularism has worked out so well in places like North Korea, China, the Soviet Union, etc. ad nauseum. 100 million happy corpses would doubtless agree.
The atheists commandment is probably the same as that of the Satanists (per Aleister Crowley)...
"Do as thou wilt."
That is the biggie! :-)
