I am not speaking for e-Bill but as a believer, I would venture the "source of morality" to be also the source of religion. Not one to the other. This is key because, it is possible to invent a religion and then assign a moral system to it. This would be very close to your way of looking at things since you see people getting caught up in a society and assigning the moral system that most accommodates their situation.

I think you agreed that an idea can stand alone as an abstract.

If we are saying that morality is an abstract idea that people put to use in defining systems of right and wrong then, you believe that human beings create it as it suits their needs. I believe human beings through meditation, prayer, scriptural study, and/or via a messenger can discover the moral system that human beings need to use in order to be successful as human beings.

So, we both end up with a needs based system that has at least a referent in abstract ideas.
