I saw enough of humanity in them (good and bad) to not believe ever they were objective, at least in the way theists present it.

But most of all I never saw why it was used as an argument for god, as I never understood why morals need to be objective anyway, they simply had to be agreed upon, indoctrinated, or enforced.

It's pretty simple. When society re-institutes slavery, or starts getting their genocide on, people want to be able to say it's immoral (and be right), regardless of what is agreed upon, indoctrinated, or enforced.
