You can try to deny that religion has influenced how you live your life, but you can also deny that the earth revolves around the sun....your denial does not either any less true.
Morality is not something that is inherently innate as some would like to argue, but is in fact nurtured which is why you don't see the same type of morality preserved in every culture. The current morality of a generation is ultimately built upon the sum of morality before it....think of it as an evolution of morality....the moral cues deemed desirable are preserved whereas the less desirable moral cues are dismissed.
And by now, for some of us, the religious portions have been completely dismissed.
