Murder is wrong because it is stripping another of their right to "be". People ask "if you don't believe in God, who do you answer to with your actions?"
My answer? Myself. Society. Family. I don't need there to be a God to know that hurting another isn't right. i don't need God to know that it is the right thing to help out others, donate to charity, and clean lakes and rivers. Are you telling me that the only reason you don't commit murder is because God deemed it's wrong? I mean, that doesn't speak highly of your own mental acuity.
Lack of random-killings is evolutionarily advantageous. Humans are pack animals, like dogs. Even canines "know" not to just kill off each other because that would destroy the hierarchy, and leave them alone, which is definitely a disadvantage.
