A non-theistic creed of humanity:

The MineralMan Creed of Humanity
I believe in the essential dignity of humanity. I believe that all people should treat all other people as they would like to be treated themselves. I believe that, as human beings, we should treat all other creatures, and the universe itself, in ways that do as little harm as possible.

No other creed is needed. All other creeds are exclusionary in nature. We need only the creed of humanity.

humans may evolve in the right direction, and live by your simple creed. I'm not sure we'll make it if we go any other direction.
