Well I can't rightly say, because I haven't listened to it yet. But the impression I got is that he seems to be advocating secular discourse on ethics (not that this is anything new of course), rather than giving a list of 'non-religious' moral commandments. I might be wrong though.

I haven't listened to it, but I would hope that difference (besides a few of the rules just being different from each other) is the justification for those rules.
