To break down paragraph 3: 1) Atheism means that morality is personal opinion 2) More than one person shares moral position X 3) Therefore (1) is wrong
I can't see how (2) contradicts (1) in the slightest. Just because multiple people share a given moral position (rape is wrong) that doesn't make it objective - it just makes it a shared value.
