Part of the problem is that whether morality is objective or subjective, it doesn't rely on worshiping a god to be moral. Either it's objective, and doesn't come from any being, and we're perfectly capable of being moral whether a god approves or not, or it comes from a god and is as subjective as anyone else's beliefs on morality.
