As a devout Christian, 1 Yes! 2 the “rules” of our religion are more like instructions on how to live a meaningful life. It’s not “don’t be evil or else” , it’s “don’t be evil cuz there’s a much better way to live”.
There’s justice at the end, and that’s a very important part, but if a rule by fear is being preached then there’s something wrong with the preacher.
However, the original idea is still useful for metaethics, explaining the what how and why of Evil & good
