I dont think morals has anything to do with wether you areligious or not..and vice versa.
As far as mankind finding a universe code of ethics and morals that apply to all humans, I dont ever see it happening. Hence Absurdity.
...but...
I feel that certain social systems can have ethical properties in them. You cant usually have a huge poplation of humans living close together being alowed to rob, rape, and ravage their fellow citizens. The social cohesion would break apart. This is far from an inherent "universal" moral code.
Then again, look at some of the Muslim countries, where honor rapes and stoning is alowed without trial..and some would say that they too have a social structure.
