Call it what you will, morality has a far simpler virtue which may conflict this very premise.

Among those who value free will and human right, morality is that which does not sacrifice of another for power gain of any interest.

To reveal a hidden truth among us, unrecognized and unarticulated as it may be, there are those who will “sacrifice” of others for their power and those who will do no such thing.

Various understandings and conjectures throughout time have biased this in accordance with values of family, nationality, even of race and creed.

Those of morals may say of any other “fuck off and mind your own business”, therefore emphasizing natural rights over individual or collective interests rather than group cooperation as the basis of true morality.
