There could be some that would think why not; it might be interesting as an experiment on how if Theists were taken out of the picture the rules of morality would be arrived at. Maybe its a bit too extreme but it might open the subject. If someone can think of a less dramatic one that could achieve the same result then we could switch to that instead.

I'll save you some time on your experiment: morality has nothing to do with theism, or religion in general. Religion co-opts existing morality, which is down to evolution and societal health, and claims authorship over it, when that is simply untrue.
