[VirianLexicon]:[morals]

!!!Morals
----
In the Virian formulation, [morals] are “inherited” and tend to refer to sets of ingrained traditions, while [ethics] are considered and less dependent on any particular cultural or religious perspective. Accordingly, [ethics] trump [morals]. In particular, religious [morals] tend to be founded on an increasingly inappropriate [morals of abstinence|moralsofabstinence].
