Does "motivation for" mean "motivation derived from"?

Context:

This is important, because moral

that have no real link with morality. A great deal of the opposition
to the teaching of evolution has no connection with evolution itself,
or with anything scientific, but is spurred on by moral outrage. This

monkeys, then they will act like monkeys' to the more sophisticated
underlying motivation for the whole 'wedge' strategy of 'intelligent
design', as it is mercilessly laid bare by Barbara Forrest and Paul
Gross in Creationism's Trojan Horse: The Wedge of Intelligent
Design.
