Yes you do
Of course he cares. Doesn't morality instruct him to care inescapably? Somebody's god is going to be very upset with him.

When you think about normative morality you seem to have come to some sort of conclusion along the lines of
"No human can possibly know what is truly right or wrong, god must exist"
Rather than
"No human can possibly know what is truly right or wrong, normative morality is basically just assuming what is right and reasonable."
^ This. If you were truly looking to understand this bit about morality so that you could hang onto your new found agnosticism, there you go. Or was that all just a sham to get the atheists to take you seriously?
