Democratic politicians and their quite stupid media cheer leders cite morality, 'the wall is immoral' this is , with its exclusive appeal to inner experience
and its disregard for the historical element in religion/morality et al.
The really should read a bit more, morality ad other grandniose claims think of Michelle Obama's banal offering 'we go high while you go low'
What is required to these simplistic offerings is that sceptical reason fails to discern any evidence that warrants theistic (moral) conclusions
instinctive moral judgments: they arise not from outward facts or dispassionate calculations but from our capacity to ‘sympathise’ with the feelings of our acquaintances, real or imagined, and from inward sentiments of approval and disapproval; but the mind ‘likes to bestow upon objects the same emotions, which it observes in itself’, and it beguiles us by endowing our moral impulses with a bogus aura of objectivity
