That would be a subjectivist contention. Are you prepared to argue that 2 and 2 is only 4 based on the specifics of a particular agent, in this case, it's existence?
I don't think that's true. I think that in a world with or without a god, taking two pebbles from one hand and adding them to the other hand, already holding two pebbles, leaves a person with four pebbles in that hand. The addition or subtraction of gods, one or one million, doesn't appear to effect the sum.
This can be repeated with moral concerns. Nothing is objectively good or bad based on whether a god exists. Any given thing, if it's objectively good or bad, would be so regardless of the existence or apprehensions or opinions of any given subject by definition.
