Well, morals ("ethics", whatever...) are something that are taught through various means as is anything else...unfortunately, there are ignorant people out there that legitimately believe morals wouldn't exist without god, this is however by NO means true.
A quote I read somewhere recently that I liked (unfortunately I forget who said it):
""you're right I'm not moral because morals is a set of behavioral guidelines derived from authority whether real or imagined and I don't use morality in my day to day life to make decisions, however I'm a very ethical person, and I think that social ethics as they evolved out of social dynamics, are a better course to pursue then morality, because if you're being a moral person, and you are doing what the authority has instructed you to do, that authority may not in itself be moral. So for me social ethics are the way to go."
