Objective morality as a proper basic belief

Exactly. It's iffy about how likely it is to get a good result and you run the extreme risk of having it go South in many ways (making a person ignore logic and reality, or defend Yahweh's morality even if they don't act on it). Go the secular route; it gets you what you're looking for with none of the side effects.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
