I disagree.
I see organized religion as a way to preach morals, but not necessarily adhere to them.

Humans evolve through memory - we learn from our experiences. When people are cruel to us we remember what it feels like and we learn from it. We learn to loath the person who is cruel and we make an effort not to be like that ourselves, which over time has given us a good idea of what constitutes 'right' and 'wrong'. Morals have been engraved into our society because we teach these things to our children.
Religion has been used to enforce morals onto other people, but it is not where they come from. Religion and morals both come from evolution.

There always were there.
When men lived in a cavern, he had sex with his daughters in order to reproduce.
As soon as there were enough men and women, morals came in. And incest, for instance, became a taboo, one of the 7 sins.
The actual 7 sins are not coming from christianity, it's as old as we are.
So i guess morality is a way to protect man against man and protect our race from becoming degenerated.

I think we learn along the way. Sure, for some people morals have a lot to do with religion. Not for me though, because I don't have a religious background. We are taught morals by our enviroment, so where your morals come from will have to do with the environment you grew up in. For me, the answer would probably be parents and school. Later, in my teenage years, from friends and media (television, newspapers, magazines, internet).

A giant rabbit sneaks into your room while you're sleeping and places them under your pillow... or something like that.

No nature at all you think?
A mixture of both perhaps?

societies without morals self destructed
i think morals are self preservation of the specie and they usually come back in " fashion" when man has reaaally gone downhill.

It's a combination of nature, nurture, parental lessons, religion and what Danny Top Hat said.

Not true... in "March of the Penguins", a penguin whose egg had frozen tried to steal a live egg from another penguin. Immediately, an entire troop of penguins came down on her big time.
Also, when they huddle to keep warm, they take turns standing on the outside of the huddle circle. Shows an understanding of fairness.

the entire troop of penguins could've just been anger though. Also, outside the huddle circle they could just be warm enough for a while and wait outside

They were angry because one of them was committing an immoral act (i.e., stealing / eggnapping). And no living thing is ever "warm enough" when its one hundred degrees below zero in one hundred mile per hour winds. They risk being frozen to death (and many do die) just so all in their community have equal time in the center of the circle.

someone must have taught them morals somehow. Problem is who started it?
