Asuming that I should live by the same code of morals that they do

when they are based on something I find to be laudable equates to me that their opinions are not relevant.

We do generally live by the same code of morals,
religion was intergral to the development of a moral code. Without organised religion we would have a very different view on the value of human life.

people didn't really think the world was flat.
at least not anywhere near as much as it is bandied about.

didn't really have the time or the interest to ponder on whether the earth was flat. Your average peasant's world was bounded by his master's land, the concept of oceans and foreign countries was pretty much meaningless to them let alone whether the world was flat
