The big three religions are relics of cavepeople (see Geico commercials). While these cavepeople found a few practical themes, they really werent that bright, and certainly not from God, as they claimed.
Creating a moral code first requires an overall purpose. The following moral code I will quickly shot-off from the top of my head will serve humanity. The purpose is to create the highest degree of happiness (Utilitarian like) while at the same time, fostering a culture whose technological advancement continues to increase human life-spans at the fast possible rate (promote tech.).
Ideal code:
1. Promoting happiness within yourself and among people you meet is the highest virtue of all because life is all we have and thus every moment happiness is felt, the highest good is achieved.
2. Happiness: A subset of freedom. Its highest form can only exist in people who are self-reliant and not dependant because dependant people are always insecure.
