You seem to be saying: "If there were objective moral truths, people would mostly agree.
People don’t agree.
Therefore, no objective moral truths."
But it's not the case that if there were moral truths then people would mostly agree.
Disagreement is only evidence against realism if realism predicts agreement.
Why should disagreement count as evidence against realism, but agreement not count as evidence for it?
Disagreement and agreement both happen. Neither, on its own, decisively supports realism or anti-realism.
