Default Re: Question for Non-Believers

I am a utilitarian and beleive something is right or wrong based on its impact on humanity (or whatever subset of creatures you are willing to assign value to). Moral principles are secondary to human happiness and are only important as a coordiantion mechanism by which societies net utility (happiness) can be maximized if we all agree to follow them (e.g. no murder, respect for property, etc...).
