I can't tell you how often I hear in debates this idea that morality is from God and that non believers have to be immoral people because of this, in fact in the US its a big part of the reason why Atheists are so distrusted by the vast majority of the US population.
Also many apologists have argued that science cannot comment on morality, that its beyond its purvue, and of course that morality exists because of religion.

I think my morality is a lot higher than many xtians who think eternal bliss awaits them at the end of the road.
