The World Needs a Secular Community Revolution
The US used to have that.  You can still see the remnants if you look. Rotary International, Kiwanis International, the  Independent Order of Foresters, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the National Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry - all those secular fraternal organizations still exist.<p>The core of these organizations was small business owners, a group which once ran their small towns, and no longer does.  Some of those organizations existed to push back against big business, especially railroads, back when railroads had a monopoly on shipments to small towns.  That function evaporated as trucks took over.<p>Rotary has a moral code, the Rotary Four-Way Test:<p><pre><code>    Is it the TRUTH?
    Is it FAIR to all concerned?
    Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
    Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
</code></pre>
That's a morality for business people, created by business people. It seems archaic today.  It was once taken quite seriously.
