The decent agnostics and atheists that I have discussed this with use the 10 Commandments minus the references to God as a guideline for their morality and standards of right and wrong.
"And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion.
We are instructed by our founder not to completely disregard those who believe morality can be maintained without religion, for their intentions are well-meaning, but instead to use caution as we indulge them. As we can see so clearly today, over-indulgence bears a tremendous penalty.

I have seen many a family of which I was thankful that I was not a part of because of the over-indulgence in religious beliefs expressed therein.
Over-indulgence can starve a person of other needed wealths also.
