That is the only moral authority any of us has access to.
I disagree with your assertion.
Fixed.
No. The difference is in the word "purely". In a Christian world view goodness is something real and lasting and not just a social construct. When we exert power over others we can do it in a good way and do it to achieve a good end. Without God there is exertion of power, but no goodness that is meaningful.
