Is God required for morality? No, I don’t think so. It can be rationally explained that people do things that are “good” because they are beneficial to them. We do things that will allow us to survive and to thrive. Even though it may not be something we want to, like helping someone else out. By doing so, we work with society to make it hospitable and comfortable to live in, again, making our life better.
One can argue that these things would not be considered moral and would not be beneficial if there was not God to make them that way. This is something that cannot be proven wrong, but it cannot be proven right either. There is no way to prove or disprove the existence of God. With that said you cannot know if morality is a result of God. The only thing we do know is that there is morality and it is something that we live by. Arguing about the origins of it leads nowhere.
