That's kind of silly. Of course it can. There is such a thing a "Universal Morality", aka "Killing is wrong", "Rape is wrong", etc. It's universal because most cultures in the world recognize these things, making it universal. The only way that morality becomes "relative", is in gray area issues, surprinsingly, where differences in religion arise, such as Islam thinking it's "immoral" of women to have their heads uncovered, or Jews and Muslims thinking that it's "immoral" to eat certain foods or foods prepared a certain way.
But as for whether or not it's important to know if there IS a "God", or "Souls", etc., or not, I would say the answer to any intellectual should be: YES. Even if you're an atheist, it would be very important to know whether or not your belief that gods/souls DON'T exist, is correct, right? And if they DO exist, I would think any thinking mind would want to know that for a verified fact. It's the kind of thing that would be nice to know.
