Of course. But at the same time alignment is under the domain of gods and it's part of the cosmological structure itself. I wouldn't think one can simply declare to be outside the purview of morality.

Of course it isn't out of the purview of morality. It is morality. Alignment is just a simplified way of stating the morals and ethics of a character without going into detail. I'm just saying the theology we have in our world is not the theology of D&D. Evil is not necessarily describing the same thing it may in our world.
