No, no no no. Acknowledging that christianity is a moral claim is not the same thing as agreeing with that christan moral claim.
A guy walks up to you and says "Skullfucking my neighbor is the right thing to do-because". You may not agree with him...that skullfucking his neighbor is right, or that if skullfucking his neighbor could be right his because™ works. Still, you can agree that he's made a moral claim. An assertion about what is right or good.
You can, ofc, insist that his moral claim is wrong. That (if true) would make it an inaccurate moral claim, but not...not...a moral claim. Just as five is a wrong answer to two and two..but it's still an answer.
Get it?
