I can only see it the way I see it- which is that there are no objective moral laws, and that the solutions men find to make a society develop around their religions, We may be talking past each other here or simply confused by whatever point we're each trying to make. At any rate we don't have enough written history to know if moral codes developed because a particular society also had a God they worshipped, but it doesn's seem to me that it has to be this way. I think laws or rules of behavior need have no religious origin or connotation, and so in that sense can be arrived at 'objectively'. Without a God in the picture, any society, I think, would band together to constrain others from violence, rape, theft, etc. Maybe you mean something else by the word 'objective'?
