Morality is for others
Righteousness is our own domain
Planks in our own eyes blind us to our own stupidity
Deflection of our own faults by pointing out those of others is far easier than addressing those we know about
Religions based on the concepts of sin, guilt, and punishment are toxic to human existence.

(Sorry for the mixed metaphors, I'm having trouble putting my fury into words).
