I wouldn't put religion as a good moral compass, it tends to point to itself and its elite. Even more, I think people applaud the achievement of making that smartphone available, not that specific smartphone.



What would you put as a good moral compass?


That is one of the few question where pure secular philosophy could give practical answers; but even a simplistic precept like "don't harm others gratuitously" would be a better moral compass than organized religion, despite its potential for personal interpretation.
