I hear this quite a bit when I used to debate religious leaders on theism and atheism. That religion, if nothing else, is the source of morality...
I'm skeptical of these claims...
Ask most people of any religious conviction whether they would happily spend their day committing (fraud, theft, arson, rape, murder etc) and you won't get many people saying they would. Morality in simple form is also readily visible in other animal species, or is also visible in babies and toddlers that wouldn't know anything of religion...
