I don't think anyone so far suggested a universal standard of morality. Human morality changes with time, country, and place. And it is human centric. Some animals appear to have a sense of fairness, altruism, and duty, or in other words morality. It is centric to that species.
Morality is the product of evolution in social species.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
