[split] Theistic VS Naturalistic morality
#15
RE: Atheist/Philosopher here.

1. 'Real morality' or as I assume you mean 'moral realism' is possible without God in a number of ways.

Moral realism is the meta-ethical view which claims that:
Ethical sentences express propositions.
Some such propositions are true.
Those propositions are made true by objective features of the world, independent of subjective opinion.

There are plenty of naturalistic theories of moral realism. Desirism and Preference Utilitarianism are two to name a small fraction.

Oh, and your "there cannot be one without God" contradicts what you said below.
