the difference would be the basis for that morality radames. A secular morality seeks to better individual morality by contributing and bettering societal morality. A theistic morality seeks to better individual morality by using a more dogmatic and stable reference depending on their brand of theology.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
