I'd have a much more favorable view of "moral naturalists" if so damn many of them didn't get it wrong all the damn time:
People who behave morally don’t generally do it because they have greater knowledge; they do it because they have a greater sensitivity to other people’s points of view. Hauser reported on research showing that bullies are surprisingly sophisticated at reading other people’s intentions, but they’re not good at anticipating and feeling other people’s pain.
There sure are a helluva lot more people trying to convince others that they way they lie, cheat, or steal is OK that there are trying to convince people that salt doesn't taste salty. Some things just aren't relative. Or shouldn't be.
