I think logic builds a stronger moral foundation than religion ever could.
Almost all of the worst atrocities in history have be committed due to faith/some other non-logical idealism.
In this way relgion does very little to create a "hard line that can't be crossed" in fact it's often used as the justification.
Empathy can be derived from logic and is sufficient for deriving modern morality.
I'm not saying all religion is bad, just that it doesn't have utility over and beyond logic. Logic is more than sufficient to establish all of the perceived benefits of religion with none of the inherent risks/downsides of organised religions.
