That's not defying (presumably their) morality, it's defying the local social code.

And while I agree with the quote, it's not rationalist (as it admits), but a great humanist statement.

That's true, isn't it? It's irrational in the extreme to defy a God who's real, will get His way anyway, and will punish you. Shame on you, Huck Finn, you irrational person.
