Just to be argumentative ...
"Morality is a set of values or rules which a particular society holds and which enable said society to function productively."
As such there is no universal creed. Morals differ from society to society.
For example during a war both societies would hold their values, making them equal in that respect, but the society which won, in this example the one with the bigger machines, would be more moral as they are more productive.
In short, the most productive society is the most moral.
