> Quoting Deuteronomic laws as evidence that Judaism/Christianity is morally bankrupt is not all that simple.

You're dismissing the bible because of old, cultural relativity morals. If god was the creator of objective morals, the bible would lay claim to that, would it not? Simply saying "God(s) created morality" and then ignoring or dismissing all the amoral things in holy texts is the easy way out of not having to truly consider why morality exists in the first place.

In reality, no god needs to have to existed for morals to exist, it does not need a creator.

>It's not that X religion is the best, morally speaking, but whether objective morality exists at all. If, say, Zoroastrianism is the true religion, it doesn't undermine the idea that objective morality exists (unless Zoroastrianism doesn't believe in objective morality-- that would obviously definitely disprove objective morality).

Yes, of course it's not about X best religions, but if an objective morality exists we must attribute it to a creator, do we not? Which god is the right god to say they imparted the morality on us, there have been hundreds, if not thousands of gods in human history. Did Zeus do it? Thor? is Yahweh the one? A Hindi god? It's all a circular argument because it can never be proven or disproven.

> if it exists, what causes it?

Evolution and the success of the species would likely be the main drive of an objective morality, if it exists.

> Can an atheist be moral?

This is a question only asked by the religious who have no contact with atheists. Of course atheists can be moral, because as I've said, you don't need a god to be moral. Do you think that everyone that breaks the law is an atheist? A mere 11% of the prison population in the US in 2011 were "No religious preference", which really doesn't even mean that they were even atheists. https://www.statista.com/statistics/234653/religious-affiliation-of-us-prisoners/

This is supposedly a good book on non-religious morals. I personally haven't read it, but you may find it interesting, and it will explain morals better than I ever could. The Moral Landscape: How Science Can Determine Human Values
