And here's what's pretty alien to me. If you don't believe in god, where does your definition of this supposed universal morality come from?
And to answer your jury analogy, a jury is relevant and meaningful
within the context of the system that created it. It's a product of a society that agreed to those rules, and so it makes perfect sense to enforce those rules. But that doesn't mean those rules are universal truths.
