One's morality comes from one's self.

Allow me to elaborate on that.

Most normal people understand what it means to be hurt physically and/or emotionally. We tend to not like to be hurt.

Therefore, we tend to treat others the same way that we would like to be treated. We do not want to be hurt, and thus we do not hurt others.

That is morality. No god required.
