Personally I believe the answer to that question is obvious and people/religions have just made more and more of a gray area. Being moral is the simple act of respecting others in each and every way possible. Weather it be when an old woman needs help carrying her groceries or throwing that plastic cup out the window. Doing one thing wrong does not make you immoral, it is the entirety of everything you do your entire life. Think of it as starting at 0 and either adding or subtracting from that number depending on the severity of the good/bad act you did.
Damn, I hope that made some sense.
