If they do, in my view, they're wrong to do so.
Universal = without exception.
Objective = not dependent on opinion.
In terms of morality, it's my view that neither universal nor objective morality exists. I don't assert that as truth, however, I recognize that it is my own opinion.
I think objective (not universal) morality does exist, but that we'll never to know what the objective answer is to most moral questions for sure. Some are fairly obvious: as a general rule in today's circumstances, it is immoral to rape someone.
