    Just act as if they would, because while you’re probably right, you don’t know, and it would be a poor reason not to do the right thing.

    I think the golden rule is about as perfect a rule as exists, and I really think I can bootstrap an entirely humanist set of morals from it.

    Even its Christian variant, love your neighbor as yourself, does the job very well without actually needing the attendant theology. You can make a very worthy entire life’s project out of progressively expanding your definition of who your neighbor is.
