The title of the OP is "Replacing Religious Morality" asks whether there is something there to take its place. By and large the response has been that "ve already got vone. Oh, yez is a very nice." The suggestion being that evolved empathy and innate moral conscience pre-date religion. That's really just pure speculation and in my view, in agreement with genkaus, that neither sufficiently qualify for a moral system.
