“These proponents of religious morality are overconfidernt of their position.”
An odd position given the fact that contemporary Christians themselves don’t take the Bible seriously as a source for morality.
The Bible belonds to another age.
Ironically, if we study the ‘eonic effect’ we can see the deeper meaning behind the Old Testment, and find our moral perspective in history, more, the ‘eonic’ history that demonstrates the intersection of the realm of facts and values across history, and ultimately evolution.
The nihilism springing from reductionist scientism is a false perspective based on the oversimplification of Darwinism.

No doubt about it, but I was backing up your point that neither side gives us any insight into our moral sense.

…and I can sympathize with the desperation of religionists when they are confronted with reductionist theories.
