3. I Haven't Seen That Jesus Guy Around Lately.

I think he left the planet. It's amazing that people are still trying to figure out how to behave, don't you think?

Only one element in the article at the link is needed:

"‘Love your neighbor as yourself."

The rest is too specific to a single belief system.

Reciprocity is all of the law that should be needed, and it's stated in every religious and non-religious code of proper behavior.

Teach that and follow that, and there will be no need for deities that are not present today and never were.

Common sense, really.
