Jeez, calm down. Because we live in a world with more than one person, society was developed naturally in order to deal with intrapersonal and intratribal relations. When I stop to help someone who's car needs a jump, I don't do so because god teaches us to be good samaritans, I do so because it helps the tribe. Ethics existed long before consciousness.
Science is about how the world becomes more rational the more we understand. It becomes less rational, as Dawkins would say, when we allow irrationality to win over progress. I don't have anything against theists, but I do recognize that belief in the supernatural and the unwillingness to queestion the existence of a figure that is supported by no proof represents why humankind isn't evolving as fast as we should be. It's like we have the car in second fear, but the emergency brake is in. We might be going forward, but it's slow and it smells funny.
