I don't mean to start a fight. Most of my friends are atheists or irreligious. Nothing you said contradicts what I said. In regards to morality and ethics, you can say and defend anything you want.
The only authority you can use is that a particular opinion on morality, if held by everyone, would create a "worse" society, sort of like what Kant held. This is no argument for an objective morality that holds for everybody (such an idea is to be found in the concept of the natural law, but that necessitates an author of nature).
It's like deciding which rules for a particular game would make it more fun. The rules aren't inviolate. They're there to facilitate a certain result.
Respectfully, except for physical reality, one can hold any morality one wants to since it's just a social construct anyways and doesn't exist independently of our opinion.
