Why do they *need* to admit this?

Even if they believe in something that cannot be proven or that is demonstrably false...so what?

If there is no objective moral law, or if there is no way for any of us to know what it is, on what basis can you argue that anyone *should* do anything?

"Because...it's the truth!"

No. According to you, we can't know the truth of what we *should* do. (And that is what morality is: that which we should or should not do.)

So why does it matter whether or not people believe and teach something that is false?
