So you find it "infuriating" when people fight over codification" in inherent ways. You don't see that act as making yet another code?
This world is run by logic. Logic puts things into code. It's inherent by the very nature of things. If you're truly "live and let live," then the inherent codes of others shouldn't bother your own inherent code.
The real problem you have, if you're really going to be honest, Zombie, is that you disagree with other people's judgments. You disagree with what other people value and the degree to which they may value those things. In other words, your real problem with religion is that you don't think religion is something to fight over in the ways you see it being fought over (according to whatever your personal definition of religion is). If you want my advice, I think you should stick to arguing why you logically think this is instead of arguing for some silly rule that magically invalidates ethical codes altogether. Assuming it's a universal principle to appose "inherent codification", I can then use that same rule to also undermine any judgments you choose to make.
