Improvement in morality comes from a constant feedback loop of evaluating benefits and harms. This inherently requires that we be grounded in reality rather than dogma or other preconceptions.

To the religious, by contrast, morality is immutable, it never improves. Only compliance with the moral code is capable of improvement. And only an invisible being is capable of judging compliance. And he's not talking.

Common sense...

The foundation for morals, it seems to me, rests on the twin pillars reciprocity and empathy. From the former we obtain our sense of justice, and from the latter our higher emotions. We observe these behaviors in other primates, and it stands to reason that evolution would have conferred a survival advantage to bands of hominids, just as it does today in troops of apes. Of one thing we may be certain, we don't derive our morals from a book.
