As useful as religious practice is for helping children and adolescents understand and practice a way of life that connects them with others in a deep and meaningful way, my own prejudice has been that one can only fully internalize moral principles by being critical of the principles one learns as a child - choosing ideas on the basis of their merit.
The idea that there is a universal moral code to which we aspire, I think, is an excellent one. The idea that we can completely and definitively define its details, however, can be very divisive and dangerous.

"The Universal Moral Code is not a set of principles that everyone follows successfully every day, nor a set of principles that each of us would apply the same way in every case. (Sometimes we disagree very strongly about how to apply them!)"
In my opinion, I think where things get "fuzzy" is that we (everyone) likely disagree about how to apply them more often than we agree ...
