Morality only requires a justification if one is arguing for moral objectivity. Is that what you mean? Because if morality is subjective then you can have any opinion you like and you're no less "moral" whether you're a theist or an atheist.
Yeah, I was explicitly calling for justifications of objective moral standards in the original post. I don’t believe there are any, so wanted to get views that countered that. I happen to be a bit of a hybrid expressivist/error-theorist, but am early in my investigation of these issues so I put is always valuable.
