In my mind morals come from humans, not god. Other social animals work together for the common good. Why should we be any different? We simply have more developed brains and thus the level of complexity in our society and the morality that goes along with it is neccesarily more complicated and nuanced.
As Christopher Hitchens says "Name one moral action that a believer can do and a non-believer cannot". Its simple, there isn't a single example (at least not one I've heard). And since there isn't, its not a very big leap to then assert that if an atheist can be just as moral as a theist then morals don't come from theology. They must come from something else.
