I think he's saying that we could choose, if we like, to base morality in an objective metric, like hedonic state, and that this would be much better than the false dilemma: believe that God dictates moral truths, or watch the entire world burn in anarchy while everyone just does whatever they want.
I could be wrong, though. I haven't read his books or anything.
