Non-Aggression Principle.
But, if you think about, you prove my point. The "shared concept of God," as you put it, is a bunch of individuals with individual moral values, coming together and agreeing on a set or values/laws to guide their life. Laws of society is just an expanded version of that, promoting those morals that are acceptable to a larger audience.
The rules of religion don't make you a moral person. The rules of religion exist because they where the values of people BEFORE the rules were written. The moral laws are a result of moral people, not the other way around. Moral people created moral law (obviously, the moral people had to come together and agree on a set of moral laws, hence the laws/rules came second); moral law didn't create moral people. This just proves my point that morality exists OUTSIDE of religion. If fact, religion wouldn't exist without there first being moral people.
