There is no objective morality. It's a nonsensical idea. An indifferent universe doesn't judge things to be good, bad or ugly. Someone has to do the judging. If that is "God" then it's just god's opinion. I trust my own opinion a lot more, mainly because I know I exist and I know what results my actions have.
Morality is simply about evaluating wellbeing and harm, trying to maximise the former and minimise the latter. Any other definition of "morality" I don't particularly care about.
I think I answered where it comes from in my post so I'll await your response
Quick answer: same place yours comes from, on the whole.
