Give the grace and love of God working through the commonly shared good of humanity the credit if you like. You can see Christmas as the embodiment of that, it can be through all religions equally that's fine.

Secular Humanist morality is ripped from Christian/religious morality anyway seeing as you have nothing of your own. If you wanted to apply a rational scientific or an evolutionary based moral system it's already been tried before and it failed in horror.
