There are two types of morality:
1) Being moral for someone else
This first example would be like someone doing everything the Christian Church says to do just because everyone thinks the church is always right.
2) Being moral for oneself
The second example would be like someone doing what the believe is right. They would not do this thing for any reason other than they know for themselves that it is right.
Being moral does not mean a person is automatically a "wussy" or mean that they are in charities. It means only that when they are pressed to do the right thing, they do.

1) Jesus says to love my neighbor. Even though he is a murdurous pedaphile, I will be nice to him.
2) I turned in the murdurous pedaphile that lives next door because it was the right thing to do.

A fictitous belief in what is 'right' and what is 'wrong' There is no such thing as right or wrong. Your actions decide who you are, not words. 'Morality' is dependant on a person. Not society. Each individual decides what is right or wrong. It is not socities choice to decide. But it is the duty of society to lay down rules of morality.

A pseudo-philosophical subject which lays at the intersection of ethics and religion. Its primary concern is to take ethical non issues concerning personal choice and masquerade them as the cause of all social ills while ignoring the underlying problems of any given social negative.
Morality is the mask of an artificial enemy.

Example:
Religious fundamentalist: Damn those hippies and those queers, with their drugs and buttsecks; they're the reason for everything wrong in this country!! We didn't have problems like this back in my day when everyone listened to God and followed his morality!!!
Rationalist: No, back in your day you had unfair labor practices and sweat shops to contend with. The root of most of our problems are rooted in poverty and ignorance. If we regulated drug sales gangs would dissolve for lack of income. The revenue generated by drug sales and gay weddings could provide quality education and health care for everyone.

When a self-righteous person tears into you with their accusation of lesser morals because you have a different opinion.
