Presumptuous / pedantic notes on morality

The question of morals or ethics
is the question of
how to be a good person
since personhood is irreducibly a social phenomenon, the question of morality or ethics is a social issue -- how to act in public (with regard to ethics, how a person thinks is irrelevant except to the extent it affects action).

That being said,
the ten commandments is morality for dimwits.
Which is not to say that some of the principles expressed in them should not be incorporated into a decent moral system, but that the style, the approach, the implicit theory underlying the idea of putting morality into "ten commandments" is stupid and authoritarian and facilitative of a dim, consumerish outlook and attitude easily used by authoritarians to manage and control the stupid.

Isn't this undeniable?:
People who do not believe in God, whether agnostic or atheist, and are good people anyway, are better people than those whose being a good person somehow involves or is tied to the existence of God.

Because we're not good people based on some fear of hell or shame or a desire to emulate or please God; we’re good because it's the right thing to do and we want other people to be good and we wouldn't expect them to be good if we weren't being good – and we believe that people can and generally will be good if they are not subjected to authoritarianism.

Dimwits deride the concept of "situational ethics." But that's life – situations, and determining how to act in them.

Ideally, one would work up an analytical calculus of whether and how your proposed actions affect other people negatively, and then making a reasonable determination – the same determination most other people trying to be good people would make – about whether to proceed even with the negative consequences to others.

If people were honest and thoughtful and reasonable, that is if we were all good citizens, and strove to follow this method, that is all the morality we would need.
(Although it would inevitably need to be supplemented by a little bit of law, specifically some kind of punishment/education/rehabilitation of people who repeatedly make moral choices that reasonable people would not make.)
