Quote - The Golden Rule is in your interest if you believe that doing unto others as you would have them do unto you makes it more likely that others will treat you likewise. Such a belief needn't be religious.

And is the basis of Moral Absolutism.  I know several very devout Christians who accept the idea of a basic moral compass existing without the need for a deity.

Even amoebae exhibit co-operative behaviour under certain conditions.  The simple truth is, there's more benefit from being a good citizen than being an amoral scumbag.  Usually, anyhow.  :)
