If someone only views "morality" as "what big daddy thinks I should do" then of course they are never going to understand real, empathy driven morality. The kind of morality they probably have themselves just fine, but are desperate to project onto something else for reassurance.
"Don't be a cunt."
There. Morality in a nutshell. It ain't hard you know.
Of course, some people may genuinely have no empathy and so cannot understand regular morality. But religion seems to want to convince everyone that they are psycopaths, and will behave as such without religious "guidance". It's just not true at all.
If God is doing something that is stopping me killing and raping, he's still doing it just fine as a professed atheist who calls him a twat monkey. So clearly joining the religion is superfluous.
