What do you think of PZ Meyer’s take on morality?

I find it typical of many atheists, and it misses a key point - even if you do not look to God for morality, it is in the interests of a larger, structured civilized society to have basic moral tenets, or else no one can go to work because you would have to stay home to guard it.

But I also find the reasoning in the essay to be weak as well, I think is it quite a logical stretch to go from Myer's position to an admission that your side is correct.
