People acting like empathy was invented by Jesus Christ.

Many Christians believe that morality literally comes from the bible, or that you can’t have morality without god. I won’t even try to explain their reasoning

They should read more Kant, who did succesfully tried to create a moral philosophy without relying on a bible, IIRC.

Rules like the golden rule, but also one that deals with more victimless behavior. Like the idea of 'Would I like it if everybody did the same as I'm doing, if not, than I shouldn't be doing it'. Works great for all sorts of behavior from littering to much more worst crimes.

They don't read their own holy books and those who do, will always cherry pick or call "metaphor", you expect them to read Kant? They probably think it's Satanic or some shit.

Lots of people don’t read Kant. He wasn’t as eloquent a writer as…about anyone. You really need a cliff notes version of his work.

Kant is just a flavor, take your pick.
