Organised religion type morality is bullshit because:

1) It has nothing to do with wellbeing of individuals and society, except occasionally by coincidence

2) It is inflexible and unchanging

3) It deals in absolutes and barely allows for context, or competing moral decisions

4) To have any relevance today, the bulk of it gets arbitrarily ignored. Which parts get ignored? The parts the person interpreting it disagrees with. So what is left? Their own morals. Just they can find it easier to keep prejudiced opinions, while hiding behind scripture.

Whereas secular morality deals with reality, with actual wellbeing, is flexible and can improve. And it leaves no excuses for blatant prejudice.
