Yes, I'm somewhat familiar with Schaefer. In the early 80s an evangelical friend gave me a copy of A Christian Manifesto which I recall was a wonderful book.

No, I do not espouse an "atheistic impersonal monism". Our disagreement, if one exists, is not about God but about our relationship to God. As I said in my previous post, the moral dilemmas we've been discussing follow not from whether or not there is an arbiter-God but from the assumption that we are separate and independent entities. That assumption is at the root of everything. Change that assumption and moral clarity requires no act of faith. The question is not whether to be self serving but rather how big a concept of self does one wish to serve?
