There's an immense difference between declaring that absolute morality may exist in principle and declaring that there is no such thing. If it exists in principle you can begin a discussion about how much you know about it (if anything), if it possible to learn about it (if possible), what standard of judgment you could possibly use to judge if something is good or not. If it's not possible, then you have a completely different set of problems: how to ever say that anything is more good or bad than anything else. You say it's human freedom and education is better than slavery and ignorance? On what scale, how can you judge? If a culture likes the dominance of the few over the many, then there is no basis to disagree, if all is relative.
