Do you actually know anything about Wicca? Of course not. The highest precept of their faith is "do no harm". Not a bad start for a moral foundation I think. "Love thy neighbor" is a much better moral foundation.

Love thy neighbor is nice. But as Letterman used to say: this is an exhibition not a competition, please as always, no wagering. I've spent a fair amount of time looking for the ultimate moral foundation, what I've found is that most religions share most of their tenents. They might express it differently but for the most part the rules are the same. And oddly enough they're also the same as The Social Contract. Everybody has to find the way to learn these rules that works best for them.

"Love thy neighbor" is a much better moral foundation. This is a principle that has never been universally applied, because as a practical matter it cannot be universally applied. If Osama bin Laden moved next door to me, I would not love him; I would call the FBI and warn my other neighbors to get out of the crossfire.
