I believe morality to be ethics as dictated by religion. Morality is subject to the whims and fancy of religionist while ethics are, at least in my estimation, pretty cut and dry with no fuzzy grey area.

I also think it better to be an ethical person as opposed to a moral person.

Just my two cents on the subject.
