I've never needed any threat from on-high to recognize that hurting other people is bad. My parents managed to teach me that just fine without threatening divine retribution.
That isn't to say I didn't go to church and learn the 10 Commandments, but any kind of moral education follows similar standards. Murder, theft, and a number of other crimes are reviled worldwide regardless of religion. We don't need some kind of state-mandated religion to understand that.
