In basically every pre-Christian society murder is only a big deal in as much as it destabilizes society. Killing an enemy is no big deal. Killing kin is big deal. Killing neighbor is bad but can be fixed with monetary compensation to their kin to avoid further conflict. It's fine to say you are moral without religion but it's good to recognize where those ideas of morality came from.

I think I can agree with that. Although I am sure some other place came up with similar morals without christianity.
Granted they probably got obliterated by the savage hordes.
