Sure. I just question that its religion itself which does this. It seems unlikely ppl need to believe things that aren't true to thrive. https://twitter.com/clayroutledge/status/888978527537836032 …
We need to psychologically manage our fear of death and powerlessness and the fact that there is no external moral code.

It is certainly not a fact that there is no external moral code.

A moral code that exists outside humanity but is objectively moral for humans? Spose there could be but we don't know of it.

Originates outside me, & is thus independent of my whim. Aristotle located its origin in those things a human needs to thrive. E.g. sleep...

So it is still human. Based on human needs and human moral emotions. Its not objectively moral. Just in relation to humans.

Dunno what a moral emotion is. It's based on the fact I'm a politikon zoon, a social animal, who lives life best when fair, brave, kind.

Yes, that. Fairness. justice, reciprocity, empathy, compassion etc.
