How is that different from Bible tales? It seems to me that people just have a "need" to make up things as they go along instead of just accepting what they don't know and leave it as what it is, a mystery free from qualifications or "explanations" based on fancy.
Every society has a concept of the right and wrong; their own brand of morality. In all societies, restrictions to conduct, and punishment based on misconduct, serve to protects the community. There is nothing "holy" about the moral code except that adding "holiness" to it gives it more "umf." Whether the "lord" who pontificates it is the one imagined in the sky or on the ground, it's the way a community survives.

What are "Bible tales"?
As opposed to evo tales, like the Darwinian kind?
Made up as he went, while on a long sea voyage?
Why are you ponticating on morals. That's philosophical in nature. What scientific evidence do you have to back up your assertions about morality?
You know, anything testable, repeatable, concrete.
For many decades I have pointed out the obvious to almost every liberal I have met, all of who think they have a real principle for their hatred of America's glaringly obvious conservative cultural, legal, institutional history. They all want the biblical foundation of America's inheritance trivalized and destroyed.
A nation's population can decide upon what reality it wants to base its law, culture, and decisions about right and wrong. Evidence that what a culture thinks about its foundational reality is very important and distinctive is seen in the freedom and prosperity of that culture.
Yes, a nation can believe what it wants to believe, but only a fool would think that all faith and beliefs systems are anywhere near the same, or that they show no evidence that one creates true freedom while others create differing levels of bondage and despair.
