Well and eloquently said, Nonya.
Just as technology is rapidly changing the world, the realization that religiously-based philosophy and morality is, and has been, insufficient will make the near future very different, and very likely better.
All religiously based morality rests upon one supreme tenet: Belief in a god and/or prophets who either don't exist or were merely people. Certainty in a god for whom there is no evidence is immoral, as it denies the human intellect, locking the mind into ignorance. And ignorance hurts.
You are a living example of the new philosophy.
