A:

"Authentic Morality" is a term probably first used in the 1960s to describe a morality based on an interpretation of Christian teachings. The originator of the term contrasted his view of morality with morality as supposedly understood by other Christians.

If I were asked to define authentic morality generically, I would say morality is authentic when it is based on an inner desire to do what is right. If someone is moral, not because of fear of hell, reward in heaven or a desire to please a deity, but because it is the right thing to do, then that is authentic morality.
