There is universal morality (possibly)- things that rational people of any time and any place find right or wrong
I think a morality that only applies to rational humans cannot be said to be universal. Universal implies that it applies across the universe, presumably to nonhumans as well. You have a hard enough time providing a foundation for the idea of an objective morality without trying to carry the water for it being universal as well. For instance, presumably there are things that it would be moral for Yahweh to do that would be immoral for a human to do. A universal morality for Christians is broken from the start.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
