It is commonly argued that modern civil society gets its morality and ethics from religion. This is, however, historically false. The "Golden Rule" that one should "Do Unto Others" pre-dates Judaism (the first monotheistic religion) and all other major, modern religions and comes from secular wisdom. It can be argued that the humane ethic of the Golden Rule is innate in humanism and that religion gets it's morality from such, rather than the corollary.
