Hi Zvi. You may do better on a humanist forum. It sounds like you are talking about a kind of "humanist bible" to wrest away from religions the idea that only they are the repositories of good, kind and socially responsible behaviour - I deliberately avoid the use of the term "moral behaviour" because as a previous post said, what is that anyway ? This has been attempted before (ref. Alain de Bottons' book "Religion for Atheists" or A.C. Graylings' bible for atheists) but I don't think it has met with much enthusiasm because atheists tend to be a disparate group with one and only one common characteristic - they do not believe in a supernatural god or gods.

regards

Grimesy
