Is christian morality superior to secular morality? Why? [Spirituality & Religion]

It seems to me that christian morality ultimately falls back on what god wants, whether or not that is for the well being of humans, while secular morality is based upon what is the in interest of a human's well being.

It seems to me that human well being should be in the better interest of human well being than what a god demands of us for his purposes.

Not doing something because it would impact negatively on others seems, to me, to be more moral than not doing something to avoid punishment.

I totally agree and i don't think there are many who would even attempt to dispute that metric.

@Pikachu And not forgetting that non-christian belief systems still have moral guidelines, some of which place a different value on behaviours. For example, the Buddhist precepts put harm against living things as the first of their precepts. Obviously, being a non-theist religion, they don't have to worry about a supreme being getting all put out if someone should question it.
