And so to ask what morality is is really just asking how you define it.
Yay, I got your point. Morality is definitely a more ambiguous term. You’ve helped me realize I shouldn’t use it synonymously with goodness.
You seem to be making the point that in practice, peoples definitions of morality usually can be traced back to happiness or goodness, even if they don’t know or admit it.
Yes, my point exactly.
But I could imagine that there are people who think that “even if I knew that God’s will was evil, following it would still be the right thing to do.”
I am trying really hard to imagine these people, and I can’t do it. Even if God’s will includes “justice” and killing anyone who doesn’t believe, even if it’s a baby whose only defect is “original sin,” people will still say that this “just” will of God’s is moral and right.

Hmm. Well you know a ton more about this than me so I believe you.
