But the point of morality is not to constrain our experiences. The point of morality is to constrain our actions. And it does that quite well.

Agreed! But that means morality doesn't consist in proper beliefs! You can still use belief language if you like, I do.

Sure. What is illegitimate is not the language but thinking that one's morality consists in proper beliefs.
