Ok... I don't think that you can support that; but then evolution has nothing to do with what is moral? And what the nature of morality is.
The nature of morality is the rules of behavior to produce societies that promote human well being. Which rules work best are partly determined by our genetics.

Still not the argument... try again!
But it *does* undermine your argument. Morality isn't something that requires a belief in a deity, nor even the existence of a deity. That eliminates the moral argument.
