From there it is a question of faith - were those morals handed down from a higher being, or is religion a fairly inherent stabilizing factor in human society, a tendency handed down through evolution? I would be inclined to lead towards the latter, as I feel such a conclusion requires far less assumptions (Occam's Razor), but I don't rule out the former option.
