My morality is not religion-based and yet I have no problems determining right from wrong.

I would argue that you do.

That is, if what you depend entirely on what 'societies' determine as your barometer of right and wrong, and base it on public opinion instead of moral absolutes.

You can argue whatever you want.

You do the same thing. Your morality is based on the society you were born into. If you were born into a fundamentalist Islamic society, your moral views would be quite different.
