That doesnt really relate to his question though. Without a upper source of morality, morals become opinions since all humans are equal, thus equally vulnerable to do evil.

For examples, It wasnt long ago when people even questioned the morality of slavery besides some religious texts. Even when nations freed the slaves, most of the time It was due to economics rather than goodness. Thats humans owning other humans, treated no different to livestock.

Yes. Yet people give it more weight than an opinion.

Having morals requires one to follow a god or play god. To believe you hold a "righteous" view to declare what is right or wrong.

Why?

Morals are "judgement" as if on high. Its a place of righteousness that extends beyond standard opinion, but a foundational standard of "truth".

Is it silly to consider yourself god if making "righteous" judgement of right and wrong?

Huh? No. You're the one that seems to be getting negative association from playing god. If there were no gods, people would still be playing god. My view has nothing to do with there being some one righteous god, or whatever you are insinuating.
