Where do morals come from?
From society and progressive individuals.
Sometimes things can come and alter morals, these normally take the form of ideas or ideologies.
The Nazis (I know godwins law) subverted a normally progressive society with their 'bad jew' and 'eastern europeans are subhuman' memes.
Of course the most common way to subvert morals is to introduce religious commandments, so you get people who would oherwise be harmless, killing doctors, just because they carry out abortions, or stoning young girls for taking an unescorted ride in a mans car or... I could go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on...........
So to summarise no god good, god bad.
Societies worse off 'when they have God on their side'
