I suspect it might the premise that a certain god exists & wants certain things? But then you're in the same situation coz others disagree.

Yes. This is why we need a solid premise. I'd argue that humanism provides less justification for terrible things than religion does.

Unless you are a Christian who believes a soul goes in a conception in which case the embryo goes to heaven rather than never existing.
