I don't go so far as denouncing morals, I'm glad they exist, but I'm very skeptical of them. Morality works well for its evolved purpose, which is to bind together small tribes and push someone into action in response to visual and audio cues that someone is suffering. Beyond that, it's highly flawed. It doesn't get switched on for out-groups. Arguably it contributes to tribal conflict. It can be co-opted so easily by nefarious charismatic leaders, motivating morally outraged people towards atrocity. It can be co-opted easily by a victim-playing psychopath in an interpersonal setting for personal gain. It's used as a mask for policies and ideologies that are really a byproduct of jealousy, envy, self-interest, among other motivations. It's not rational, we become less altruistic as the scale of the problem grows, and we respond more to emotional stimuli than actual information about what's going on.
