God is a sort of like a magnetic north for morality, everything is measured against him.

What? How can you measure something against a concept? Or do you consult the sacred texts for the rules?
Gods are strictly conceptual entities that cultures create to explain their assumed superiority.
It's not that our compasses break, it's that magnetic north is in a different location for each individual and moves around depending on the circumstances of of the individual at a particular time.
We'd be better off without the concept.
