It doesn’t seem that even atheists understand secular morality, we have a variety of conflicting views subjectivism, moral nihilism, emotivism, moral realism.
We have Vulcans who believes in a platonic conception of Good, we have atheist philosophers like Nietzsche, Juergen Habermas, Zizek, John Gray etc.. who view liberal western conceptions of morality to be a product of the judeo-Christian tradition etc...
So which secular morality are us theists suppose to be comprehending? Does comprehending requiring acceptance of one view over the other as true? Or could we reject all of them.

Do they though?
I view x is right and wrong as normative statements, you indicate in your moral views, they’re descriptive statements.
You also claim right and wrong are matters of harm, where I ascribe to a view more common to virtue ethics, that morality is more a matter of moral character, than actions of their consequences
