Without being interpreted as making a theological statement, I'd like to propose some practical guidelines to constructing a moral society.
Morality starts, unavoidably, with categorization.
Choices are classified as intrinsically good or bad. How this classification gets done is either subject to scrutiny or it is not. If it is not, then we can say that it is an authoritarian form of morality. If on the other hand morality and the classification of good and bad choices is based on an open and socially responsive criteria, then it can be said to be human and humane. Those who argue for an absolutist morality base their claims on an undemonstrated contact with divine or omniscient authority.
