The word and definition of "moral" were created by man. It has nothing to do with God. Morality has to do with an "idea" of right and wrong, particularly as it pertains to a society, but it can be individual also.

Imagine the world without a God? Which one? The world is full of "Gods", just as it is full of societies. Right and wrong aren't black and white. What is "right" in one society or culture could be very "wrong" in another. Your God has a set of rules, the main being the ten commandments. The followers of Christianity developed their own moral code to adhere to that. The followers of other religions have their own morality. Many similar, some different. Agnostics and atheists have morals also, especially if they are a society. Your morality stems from the Christian religion, but don't think for a minute that people who aren't Christian don't have morals. All societies have definitions of right and wrong. Just because they don't fit your code doesn't make them immoral. That would only be from the "window" that you are looking at them through. Your window might be cleaned with Windex from the inside, but still dirty on the outside.
