No - what he is saying is that reading the Old Testament - the claim of morality is simply not true
Morals and Ethics existed LONG before the creation of the Xtian religions. Even Before the Hebrews are known to have existed as well.
WE do not need to believe in Fairy Tales to have them - Why do xtians need to believe in fairy tales to be moral
AND being moral and ethical - is doing the right thing - SIMPLY because it is the right thing to do -
Xtians do it because of a claim of a reward - or eternal punishment if they do not - which is neither being moral or ethical.
