You're mostly talking nonsense, but morality ultimately concerns the well-being of conscious creatures, and moral actions are ultimately founded on empathy and reciprocity, which come from US as thinking, feeling creatures capable of imagination, honest self-examination, and the experiencing of suffering and pleasure.

No god is necessary to tell you what suffering is, and moral precepts like the rule of reciprocity aren't original or unique to any religion, but are present in the moral philosophy of nearly every ancient culture from around the world, all independent of each other.

Try to make a moral code without using empathy and reciprocity, and/or which doesn't fall apart with them.
