"And morality has a super-material origin that can’t be a matter of simply selecting the right governing '-ism'."

Exactly. Take it away, Voltaire: "If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him."

Not enough credit/blame for this dystopian world is given to the New Atheists, who took a hacksaw to the central pillar of Western Civilization. At least Dawkins realizes his error and is trying to make nice now, labeling himself a "cultural Christian." Nice sentiment; ain't gonna work. Can't find the quote now, but Nietzsche stated that Christian morality without Christianity would fail. There is nothing self-evident about it.
