Dogma's would be a better word to use (instead of "morals"), in the last half of your story i.m.h.o.
What you are told by the church and in politics has nothing what so ever to do with morals.
The "morals" are used as a control mechanism by the (leaders/gurus/politicians of the) religion. The people in political religions and religions are not moral at all, by using these methods.
It's a very Orwellian world we live in, where the worst people, tell the people they control and that follow them, that they are bad (born in sin) and that they must do this or that, to make themselves, and even worse, others, good, all the while doing all kinds of bad stuff, for the rulers/priests after which the priest/rulers say; see... people are bad... and listen to me because I know how you can be good....etc. etc.
