How can you say it's superior if you can't specifically define it?

I can say that any action other than getting stabbed in the lungs is superior to getting stabbed in the lungs without having to specifically define the former. Understanding that one thing is inferior to a set of other things is still possible.

In this case, I can say that secular morality is superior because secular morality at least allows for the possibility of slavery not being a thing, which your religious morality does not have.
