To answer this question one needs to define "piety" and "virtue", and then clarify who is asking the question.
Simply put, piety is purity of heart, mind and body coupled with a perpetual awareness of the presence of God.
"Virtue" we are told is the quality of doing good and avoiding bad. We are then forced to define "good" and "bad".
To end a long story, and using extreme examples, piety is a virtue if you follow God, and a vice if you follow satan.
