Atheist's 10 Commandments

As an atheist (or any other type of non-theist) if you were tasked with rewriting the "well" established 10 commandments which would you keep, change, get rid of and what would you add and why?

We will also be discussing future JAM events such as movie nights and fund raising activities.

    I like that we seem to have come down to one main thing, which was basically treat each other well. That's the basis for good society, regardless of which religion they choose to put it in; and when the religion contradicts it, even religious people tend to gloss over that part if they have any intelligence.

    I polled every xtian I know prior to this meetup and without fail they all had to ponder at length to name all 10. Whereas the atheist/agnostics I know can name all 10 in under 5 minutes. What does that say about going to church? hehe

    Oops. I posted my response in the wrong area. Still feeling my way around. MJ, I am sad to say I could name all 10 commandments. Of course, it depends on which 10 commandments. There are two different sets, remember? I could probably also get a rhythm going and name all the books of the mythological tome in order.

    Just curious, right off the top of your head, without checking any sources... who can name all 10 commandments?
