Unless improvement really isn't the subjectivist's goal...

THIS subjectivist's goal is to bend society in the direction I'd like to see it go. Why do you think I can't try to do this unless I have approval from the Universe beforehand?

Lewis was refuted a long time ago. See Beversluis, John. C.S. Lewis and the Search for Rational Religion (Grand Rapids, Michigan: Eerdmanns, 1985).

My philosophical moral system is based on secular humanism.
What moral systems from antiquity do you think the moral system (systems, maybe?) of secular humanism is based on, or did a few secular humanists recently derive their system of morals from whole cloth?

Where did you say I can get the book Secular Humanistic Morals for Dummies?
