I’m talking about that too. For slightly different values of “you”, where “you” want to cooperate with fellow religious believers because you think they are more likely to share your desires and values.
Well if we’re talking about that version of “me”, why not talk about the version of “me” who’s a member of the International Dog-Kicking Association? For any given virtue you can posit some social context were that virtue is or is not desirable. I’m not sure what that accomplishes.
The International Dog-Kicking Association is something you just made up, so the fact that a rule fails when applied to it doesn’t mean the rule will cause any problems in real life. Religion actually exists.

I really don’t know what we’re actually disagreeing about here, so I’m going to tap out. Have a nice evening.
(If it’s not evening where you are yet, then have a tolerable rest of the day, and then have a nice evening)
