I like the idea of not having any predetermined absolute law for morals and ethics. Instead of trying to replicate what religions do with base laws, why not try and only rely on convincing someone that your morals would be beneficial to everyone to accept.

One way to do this would be kinship. Evolutionarily, it is shown that cooperation and care for one another reciprocates in an easier lifestyle for both parties. If we act on empathy and teamwork, we are sure to live better lives and ensure a safer environment for our genes (children).

You see what I did there? I gave a reasoning for my morals. That's what we all should do to allow for a fluid and healthy exchange of ideas rather than dogma and absolute rules. Our morals have drastically changed over the centuries and it just goes to show you that (like scientific understanding) we don't actually know what's right but we are getting more and more correct every time we try. Our morals should always be put into perspective and tested just like our theories.
