With or without a concept of God basic right and wrong don’t change.

Again, your mere acceptance that there is right and wrong is, whether you will admit it or not, an acceptance of a "religious" premise. Because your precious science cannot prove the existence of right and wrong. It cannot establish the moral basis of anything, because that basis is intangible.

You're simply accepting morality on faith. Because deep down, you know what is right, and what is wrong. You were born with that intrinsic understanding, which we call conscience.

Sorry but it isn’t. Right and wrong can and do exist without religion. Most of our rules of right and wrong are followed by every other pack animal on the planet, they are necessary rules for creatures that work in groups, they keep the group functional. Now if animals that don’t even have language skill, much less a concept of God, can figure them out...

I’m not accepting morality on faith. I understand it’s purpose to strengthen the group.

You really should spend less time trying to tell other people what they think. Not only is it rude, you’re wrong every single time.
