But see, you've now rendered your own premise moot. If most of the people claiming your moral system ignore it, and violate social norms at a far greater rate than those who reject your moral system, then your original post is utterly meaningless.



But I do believe that one who truly believes he will answer for his actions on this earth in the after life will and does conduct himself with greater restraint than one who does not. Our dispute is in who these doers of the word are as opposed to hearers only.

Not doing something because you fear punishment isn't considered "morality" in my book. Having morals is not doing something when no one is watching.
