You are making a too big thing out of religion and morals. Try to look at it from a different angle. I am not saying that religion is a guarantee for good morals. No one is saying that. (which is part of the reason why I don't want to go deeper into a Bible study in this discussion). But one could say that there's is something religious about morals, or rather, something metaphysical. If you acknowledge universal or absolute morals that is.
You do know that the argument of universal morals is used as an evidence of God? It's then another question who exactly that God is, who is his incarnation and message on this earth etc.

I'm not making too big a deal out of religion and morals. No offence, but I think you just want to avoid the topic because you are uncomfortable with it.
You have to be able to back up some things, like why have your divine set of morals suddenly changed (and they have) if God is all knowing? Ok, your morals are not fail safe, they allow for amoral nutcases too; but that doesn't change that fact that an all knowing God who decided on an eternal set of morals suddenly decided to change the rules.
