That's right, the religious concept is a objective moral law given by a law giver for humans. Not for armadillos. At least that's the religious and ontological view.Hold it right there: when you say "objective" set of morality you surely must mean that it is OBJECTIVELY right and wrong. Not just for humans but for all living creatures. Otherwise it's just something HUMANS made up for HUMANS which is kind of the whole point of "SUBJECTIVE".
You have described SUBJECTIVE morality, not objective morality.

Why did you think you made such a clever point?
The weak nuclear force is objectively true, but it only applies to atomic nuclei, not to electrons. The strong nuclear force is objectively true, but it doesn't apply to neutrinos. Entropy is objectively true, but it doesn't apply to open systems.
I accept your grudging and tacit confession that things can actually be objectively true, without applying to everything, everywhere, at all times.Then it isn't objective. QED.
Because words have meaning.
Gosh I'm impresssed with your "science knowledge". Nothing to do with the point. But gosh I'm impressed.

oh I'm sorry dude, I thought you realized........the guy who can actually get us in heaven is thy guy at the door you told to go fuck himself........You are not in any better situation than I am. Enjoy!
why would be up to me.....its not like I want shit like you to get INTO heaven......we've told you the way it works.....choose to believe if you want........or burn in hell........My position is that I lack a belief in God. If someone wants to call that a "belief" then they clearly don't like the fact that words have meaning.
It is up to YOU who claim you believe in God to provide evidence for it. It is NOT up to me who lacks a belief to provide evidence of absence.
Sorry but that's just how logic works. (Feel free to hate it like you hate so many other things)

Preach!If heaven is for people like you I think maybe you overshot by a couple of letters.
Oh YOU are doing the telling, eh? You sittin' at the right hand of the father to come to judge the quick and the dead? My my my....someone thinks highly of themselves.
Why don't you dispense with this whole "mockery of Christianity" thing. It is unappealing. If you are some sort of anti-religious zealot and you though masquerading as a "Christian" and then being the most foul-mouthed, hate-filled "witness" for Christ in order to mock the faith you really should reconsider this particular gambit.
Your hatred and bile really don't comport well with the message of Christ.
An "atheist" is just someone who uses the word "atheist" as a SELF-DESCRIPTOR. There is no standard definition of atheist...which one can easily see because atheists are constantly explaining what THEY mean by atheist.A belief is too different from a belief?
I think you need to reexamine your own argument instead of just making up a fallacy in order to not address my very clear analogy.
I think you didn't even attempt to refute my point because you know you can't refute.
Religion simply adopts a viewpoint that allows for anything to be claimed in order to continue to support itself.
It allows that God is all powerful. It allows for a God doesn't have the power over everything. It allows for a God that is all knowing. It allows for a God that doesn't know everything. It allows that God is all merciful. It allows that God is all cruel. There is no objective standard since religion simply uses the conclusion to adjust the facts to whatever they need to continue with their belief. In that way religion is like a belief that there is a river running through my living room. They can simply ignore all the objective observations to make up whatever subjective ones they feel they need to justify their belief. Atheists on the other hand can have an objective standard that doesn't require changes to support their belief. An atheist could simply have a standard that until they see a miracle that can't be explained by science they will believe there is no god.
