Let me try :-) I am working on putting my thoughts into book form so a few
sentences may not be enough.
Two aspects:
1) Strong morals would let a society ideally act as one and thus with
maximum efficiency.
2) Strong morals would ideally eliminate the egos of the individual and as a
result allow a society to act with the best interest for others in mind
(compassion).
I believe that these aspects would increase a society's evolutionary
fitness.
