again, what code of ethics would unite the disparate masses?

The world would not change.
Statistics predict we would still be left with "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly".

Probably too complex to resolve here?
There would still be a concept of good and evil even without religious information. Would humanity govern itself by submitting to a rule of law based upon what is good or regress into savagery ? That may depend upon what those in power adopt as a standard.
Even without the written word all of nature demonstrates God's presence and power. Ultimately we could expect that God's presence in His creation would inspire some people to seek His way while others would rebel. Making it unlikely that any code of ethics would unite the disparate masses.
A sense of right and wrong, fairness or unfairness will always exists. If so there must be some source of morality. If there is such a source there needs to be a Creator that has always been.

Gods Word will last until Jesus comes. So the code of ethics will be based on His truth.

The Holy Spirit could not be washed away. There would still be that influence on the hearts of God loving people.

God is real it is not the teachings of man it is forever as God is forever his word will not pass away and God is alive and capable of communicating his word.

Do whatever makes you happy - just don't hurt anybody.
