I mean the sufficiency of the definition given. Consider a universe which absolutely, positively, was not created by any sort of ‘god’, the laws of physics of which happen to be wired such that torturing people lets you levitate, regardless of whether the practitioner believes he has any sort of moral justification for the act. This universe’s physics are wired this way not because of some designer deity’s idea of morality, but simply by chance. I do not believe that most believers in objective morality would consider torturing people to be objectively good in this universe.
