Let's take homosexuality for example, lets say you ask the question "what is your moral standing/viewpoint in relation to homosexuality?"
Lets keep the variables of ERA and PLACE constant, and change the PERSON. In other words, assume that you conduct a survey with 2 individuals (A christian and a liberal non-Christian) living in the same era (year of 2020) and same place (same town/city). The christian will believe that "homosexuality IS immoral" whereas the liberal non-Christian person will disagree. Morality is largely determined by an individuals VALUES/PRINCIPLES, which will differ from PERSON TO PERSON.
Now lets keep the PERSON and ERA constant, and change the PLACE. In other words, assume you ask this question to a Middle-Eastern person, who moved to the west at the age of 5 and basically grew up in the west.They are quite likely to say that "homosexuality ISN'T immoral" due to growing up in a liberal democratic society which has indoctrinated them to adopt certain beliefs (including normalisation/acceptence of faggotry). Now imagine that their parents never brought them to the west and instead they grew up in Saudi Arabia, Iraq etc. and lived in a conservative, authoritarian society. Now if you ask them the same question, they will almost definitely say that "homosexuality IS immoral" due to being raised to live in accordance to Sharia law. Morality is largely influenced by SOCIAL CONDITIONING, the "nature" of which will differ from PLACE TO PLACE.
Now lets keep the PLACE and PERSON the same, and change the ERA. Lets say you ask this question to a white person in the USA in 2020 They will say "homosexuality ISN'T immoral", now if that same person was instead living in USA in 1820, a time when gays were likely persecuted and seen as second-class citizens , they will give the opposite answer. Morality differs from ERA TO ERA.
Religious people believe that only God has the authority to determine what is good or bad, right or wrong. So is it really a surprise that the people who believe in a higher power (despite there being zero evidence of its existence) are usually the same people who believe in "objective morality", despite observable reality showing us that:
Morality is completely SUBJECTIVE. IT CHANGES FROM PERSON TO PERSON, PLACE TO PLACE, ERA TO ERA.
"OBJECTIVE MORALITY" IS AN OXYMORON
