The first paragraph you wrote is pretty questionable, but it's interesting what you said in the second paragraph about ancient Greeks and contemplation of morality.
In a couple of his writings, Bertrand Russell compared the morality of ancient Greeks to that of Jesus, basically posing the question, "Was Socrates more moral than Jesus?"
If you look at all of the teachings of both individuals, for the most part I would say yes.

Pertaining to Jesus, I would have to say putting people in Hell for eternity for almost anything other than being completely perfect Christians (according to the Bible and Ten Commandments) is the biggest display of lacking morality ever.


Good thoughts.
