1. Mostly agree. I think he short-sold humanistic morality a bit

but his response to the implication of divine deontology was pretty sound.

Otherwise my only quibble would be the missed opportunities to stress Occam's Razor. Re gods and souls nobody can say for certain they don't exist, but there is a reason why it's perfectly rational to operate under the assumption that they do not.
