We should take the Moral Highground

[Neo-Scholastic]

One of the things that makes secular values superior is we eliminate the clutter and can zero in on the heart of the matter…Religion…obsesses over distractions like blasphemy…. By nature, religion will be more concerned with its own interests rather than real moral issues…In sum, religion has a conflict of interest. Secular values don't. Ergo, we win.

The ‘heart of the matter’ on which all your assumptions rest is that ‘real moral issues’ are only about species survival. I have demonstrated that evolutionary mandates, the why as you put it, does not provide a rational basis for the should. I have also shown that religious demands for obedience, to which you object, could (in the flawed understanding of evolutionary psychology you use) be seen as an evolutionary advantage. Meanwhile, you have repeatedly and hypocritically avoided providing an alternative to evolutionary psychology as the basis for understanding ‘real moral issues.’
