}}} please indicate what ‘re-definitions’ are necessary...please be specific...

Most of your definitions out there are inherently linked to law. Most of mankind’s basic “laws” are derived from religious sources... i.e. GOD’s Commands.

Therefore you would have to re-write the definition of morality so that it avoids references to both law and religion.

you would only be left with vague synonyms such as “good” and “righteous”, or “upstanding”... which of course are words which are completely relative and NOT definitive because there would be no common frame of reference or authoritative source.

Feel free to give me an example of a moral code (in use within a respectable society) which is not related or derived from a belief in God.
