Since sin does that, it is a prevalent standard outside religion also, except that science has been creating a general understanding of what objective reality is. Subjectivizing religion through theology is analogous to saying that before you drive a car across a bridge, you must repent, because God holds the bridge up, and it will collapse if you don't repent first. Repenting, of course, means joining some organization and making a donation. Theologians are clueless of God's purposes. They cannot understand the objectivity of existence, where worship and ritual create real psychological effects, and morality pertains to the standard by which people do everything.
Morality is the point here.
It is not theologically taught as the standard of human interactions but as an attempt to please God by responding to his whims. The real characteristics of morality are not determined by the relationships between like-minded persons but by relationships between opponents. Christ focused on that area describing morality in terms of how people relate to their enemies rather than their friends. In other words, it is a sin to sin against satan. Which brings an important point to the front.
