Yes this makes sense. My rule system is classical liberalism (liberty, equality, justice, human rights, government by the people) and classical morality (humility, discipline, integrity, respect, tolerance, love for my fellow man, and the desire for everybody to succeed) but without belief in god.
Unfortunately I feel that most people are not intelligent enough to understand why these principles work so well, and once science found evolution and dropped god out of the equasion, many people dropped morality too. They thought morality was something people do to get to heaven, and if there is no god, then there is no need for it. But IMHO morality is very functional, it is only that the reasons it works so well require high intelligence and most people can't understand them. Morality and religion perhaps evolved as adaptive traits, where societies that didn't believe in god behaved differently to their detriment and died out.
