There is no such thing as pure morality. There is morality, and it is contingent on the social environment in which it is situated. Even the much vaunted "Do unto others..." has always had boundaries. For instance, historically speaking, what constitutes "others" has always been subject to exclusions.

Additionally, I cannot find any doctrine, be it religious or secular, that manages to be both universally consistent and independent in its practical application from social conditions in time and place.
