I am not going to retrace the arguments for objective vs subjective morality, or religious vs secular morality. I am only going to posit my view on the subject very briefly here.
Morality is subjective, even if one accepts the unsupported claim that it comes from a god (Hello, God is a person, right? A person is subjective). Most humans have an embedded sense of right and wrong, good and bad. I think most sane humans can agree that morality is the highest level of well-being for the most numbers of feeling beings. From there, humans acting in organizations can use the tools of science to determine what objective actions maximize well-being. Simple.
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
