There's lots of reasons for people to act morally. Good, biological reasons, and good sociological reasons. God wants us to be moral too? Icing on the cake.

God/Religion can be as much of a problem as an assistant in promoting morality. It can be a way of reminding people that being good is good. However, it can be (and has been) used a tool for immoral purposes.

God/Religion is like electricity. They can provide light and comfort, or torture and destruction. Moraliy rests in their use, not in their essence.

All IMO.
