Modern civilized society has been based upon the 10 commandments, whether you believe it or not.
The major laws in society, have been based upon those 10 items in every way. Read them.
Without laws, we are greedy by nature.
Speaking of nature, where the 10 commandments conflict with the laws of nature, this is where civilization begins.
What about when laws governing morals, go beyond that? At what point is liberty given up, by laws and controls another man placed upon you, as an individual?

There are at least 5 billion people on Earth -- many of whom live in modern civilized societies -- who have never even heard of the 10 commandments, to say nothing of believing in them.
Are you seriously suggesting that every single one of those 5 billion people is unfree and immoral?

What arrogance.
probably closer to 3 billion, not 5. All Abrahamic Religions have the 10 Commandments.

If you go there, you would think they are barbarian.
I don't need any religious fables to determine how I live. I have morals despite being an Atheist.
Where did your morals right from wrong originate?
Generations? Or the road of hard knocks?
