Yes the feeling of guilt may be the reason. What I wanted though is an answer to be able to give theists who ask this question. I'm not sure that this is a convincing answer for possibly why a theist would believe that they should still be moral without god.

You're giving them way too much credit. The objection itself is a silly one and, therefore, need not be taken that seriously.
