I take it that for morality to 'exist' at least some statements of the form 'Xing is wrong' or 'Xing is right' would need to be true. And if we mean by 'wrong' something that is instructed 'not to be done' and that we thereby have inescapable reason not to do, then I think such statements will only be true if a god of a certain sort exists.
Once again the two-level error rears its head. Even if we mean 'wrong' as an instructions of something not to be done, it still doesn't imply that it is something that we have an inescapable reason for not doing it and even if we needed an inescapable reason, it still wouldn't require a god.
