Religion is like a penis ... it's cool if you have one, but quit sticking it in my face.
To the extent that our laws reflect our moral conscience, it might be unavoidable that theists insert their theistic morality into the public discourse. The alternative for theists would be to just sit down, shut up, and let the nontheists run things as they see fit. Would that be a reasonable attitude for theists to take?
Animals have morals its not only a human thing. Humans always had morals and lets say if we did get our morals from a god that is blatantly a psychopathth we would all be horrible
beings. Our morality evolved and changed with us throughout history. Racism is ethically and morally wrong now then it was acceptable same goes with slavery if we did get our morals from a god we would even in the first world would still have slavery, because no one is going to challenge that moral basis of it being wrong.
Here is a article showing how moral animals are.

Even animals have a sense of morality empathy and even emotion just because they can't openly say it out in our language they show it through their actions.
Given that if you could speak to a animal they wouldn't know what a god or creator is either.
So no morals do not come from a god we would be spilling blood and killing others if it was.
Atheism is a non-prophet organization join today.
