If religion is not something you can "pay mind to" then we're good, right? Except you consider everything beyond "do what is right" to be unnecessary because it refers to actions that are not possible?
And "religion can result in a morality that is either ethical or unethical" is pretty much my point. It's not a useful guideline--it's right sometimes and wrong sometimes, and the yardstick you're using to judge whether it's right or wrong is something else anyway, so why not cut out the middleman and go straight to the something else?
And I wasn't recommending ignoring all the other things on the list, so we're good there too.
