IMO the need for a higher authority is both because of fear of death, and to be lazy and not think about what is right and wrong. So either excuse yourself (ex. catolicism, ask oardon from god not the victim) or just believe "your" religion gives you the right to do as you please.

So stop living in fear and embrace the absurd that we, simple 100 years tops organic blobs live in a billion years universe.
