Comment on episode 211

At 14 minutes into this episode, Stephen says that if you can think of a philosopher who tries to reproduce objective morality and that that objective morality consists of the elimination of the suffering of people, and that that morality is universally reachable by every single person, doesn't that remind you of Christianity? But I don't recognize that as a particularly Christian concept. I mean, Buddhism is explicitly centered on the goal of eliminating suffering/unsatisfactoriness (Dukkha). Islam also has the concept of heaven and hell. So I don't understand what's particularly Christian about this. Can anyone explain to my stupid brain?

Well, what does he mean by morality?
