It is insufficient in the human mind to accept any code of ethics without a greater value to support it.
We are intelligent enough to interpret and decide what is and what isn't convenient for us, and we are egotistical enough to bend the rules to our advantage whenever it suits us. This often results in our stepping over the rights of other people (and of other beings) in order to achieve our goals.
Therein lays the danger of our time: Absolute pragmatism and fanatical secularism lead to that exact outcome of wanton cruelty, irresponsibility and heartlessness.
That is why religion/spirituality is of utmost importance to any society.
