There is a difference between a moral principle upon which there is an overwhelming consensus and an absolute moral principle. The principle may be the same and the practical application may be indistinguishable, but the basis for the principle is different. I don't know why the difference in basis matters except as an academic exercise.

Yes, I suppose that is true. The idea of a private morality, as it were, thwarts any further moral reasoning.
