The Golden Rule needs no religion:

I'm using religion in a very broad sense, not limited to an established religion, confession, etc.

Religious beliefs are those which transcend sense and reason/logic. These are necessarily personal beliefs - two people can arrive at the same conclusion in different ways.

I'm trying to see if yours fits into a logical foundation, or some other, here:

That what I was trying to find out in asking whether the golden rule was a dependent value and more specifics of how you personally derive it's truth. Would I be correct in saying its value is in serving the value of " the survival of the human species, and beyond." IOW it is valuable because survival is valuable?

Thanks for your reply.
