Truth itself is the objective standard for our morality. Logic and reason (including the scientific method) are the only current demonstrable paths we have to understand what is True. As such, faith is not a path to Truth as we require evidence to determine what is True. Additionally, because we are not omnipotent, we (humans) by definition do not understand the whole Truth. Our understanding of morality is therefore subjective in any situation we may encounter.
Furthermore, Truth changes with time as we (humanity) continue to learn about ourselves and our environment. This is why our morals change (hopefully improve) with time and also why scientific education is so critical to a functioning society.
