I think, meaningfully, that moral subjectivists claim that. Though I would suggest that they are not quite getting it right for the same reasons you mentioned above. I find that alot of objections and or arguments that do circles around morality, in context of arguing for a god..are really just responses to some sort of meaningful moral subjectivism. It's unkind...but...commonly...and Mystics argument is a posterchild for this.....
-If morality came from the brain it would be subjective/meaningless/an illusion.
That would be bad.
It's not like that.
Therefore god.
-The irony being that if their need for morality to be specifically meaningful or objective or real is what informs them to either believe in or argue for gods.....it's pretty much the only way to reduce a subject like morality to silliness. Ghosts, therefore right and wrong.
