Then there's morality from a universal standpoint. Is what we're doing somehow fucking up life on other planets? Do rocks actually feel things, and if so, are we treating them properly?
We probably can never answer these questions, which is a demonstration of why morality is generally probability based. No one has all the information, so we do our best with what seems to be true.
What we do on this planet probably matters little to any life on other planets. But they may know far more than us, and judge us immoral because of the ignorant way we're causing [something bad] to happen.
The religious mindset places the edges of the universe around humans, often excluding even animals, our closest companions.
