Who agrees with this?
History of philosophy in a nutshell:
Oh god is great, god has created the perfect morality.
Oh shit this perfect morality does not seem as perfect as it is.
lets invent a new morality and values based on human intrinsic and utility needs!
Oh shit this morality doesn't seem to be as good, no one agrees with us and moral relativism is paradoxical!
lets all reject morality completely, not as if god exists right?
Shit, we need a god fearing people to make society actually work. Hand out bibles!!

Morality existed before organized deistic religions and will continue to exist after them.

Hard disagree. Philosophy predates monotheism.

Why would the history of philosophy have started with the Abrahamic god? And why would philosophy, which is the love of wisdom, have as its aim the creation of a "perfect morality?"
