It is my belief that individual morals stem from upbringing. However, it is a historical fact that societal morals stem from religious laws. Even if you are an atheist, whatever morals you have can be traced back to a religion. Whether those religious laws are a product of an actual, living God who handed them down to man or the product of a society figuring out what is right or wrong on their own and crediting it to a divine being is the subject of debate. So even if you believe there is not God and that society figured out morals on their own, all morals can be traced back to some religion.
