Completely agree. The Jewish people couldn't have made it to the foot of Mount Sinai if they were under the impression that murder, theft and perjury were kosher things to do, or if they didn't have some idea of the importance of human solidarity. These things are innate in us, and aren't bestowed upon us by some celestial dictator that watches over us from above. The weakest argument religion can make is that any notion of human morality must be deferred upward, otherwise we wouldn't have any moral ground to stand on at all.
