[1] If that's what gods will is meh, fine, but it being gods will seems to be irrelevant with respect to morality in any case. [2]
1) Right, because it was a previously admitted short answer to the question "Who is telling us what is God's will?". Who is telling us? Everything around us. If you deny that there is a god or that his will is manifest in creation, then you still have the realities which you do accept as real to guide your life.
2) At this point, yes it is irrelevant. You don't need to know that God exists or even that there is such a thing as God's will to live a decent and rationally good life. <= Please read that again because I know theists usually come here saying the exact opposite. Even if you deny the "= God's will", there is still all of those realities (e.g. what-you-are etc.) showing you how to lead a decent and good life.
