An axiom...lets just run with the notion for a moment and discard people who reason their way to good or just are good...rather than take it axiomatically..isn't justified. It's the bottom floor of a rational justification. There is no justification without axioms..spoken or silent. If you require justification for some axiom, and possess it..you'll find that you have another axiom beneath it, and misclassified the original statement.
Even so, not all axioms are created equal. The axiom of value because god ssaid so..for example, is not an ethical or moral value. It's an expression of obedience. One can be obedient without being moral or ethical, and the status of some thing as a command does not establish it's goodness. Some of the most horrid examples of immorality come to us by way of people following and giving immoral orders.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
