A mostly valid counterpoint would be, "people's morality has always been based on 'muh feels'--it was just dressed up in other language before." The Christians who worried about atheists having no morality were always wrong--everyone was just basing it all on feelz anyway.

Reminder: moral systems that aren't based on evolution and game theory are trash.
