To me, they are delusions.

I don't believe humans make choices.
That being said, I think humans follow the morality they make up in the same way humans follow the God they make up.
So the distinction is the notions of morality, God, and unicorns exist, but morality, God, and unicorns don't actually exist.
Or maybe they do. I suppose it depends on whether or not you view an irrational view of the world as 'real.' If I have an imaginary unicorn in my head that I named Jasper, and I pretend we play fun word games together. Would you say Jasper exists? What if rather than pretend, I really believed Jasper was a unicorn in my head that played word games with me? Would that make him real?
Either way, I find the idea of morality, subjective and objective, as irrational nonsense.
