I know that I am not a part of this discussion, nor have I read all of it. That being said, the quoted line jumped out at me.
Societies end up with similar moral codes, because they have an innate instinct that was created through evolution and biochemistry. Gathering into tribes benefits the species, therefore, fitting into society enhances the chances of individual survival. And I could go on into boring detail, but I don't want to. I think you've heard it before, but there isn't any need for magic, so you've rejected it.
