What is the relationship between God and morality?
God approves of right actions because they are right and disapproves of wrong actions because they are wrong (moral theological objectivism, or objectivism). So, morality is independent of God's will; however, since God is omniscient He knows the moral laws, and because He's moral, He follows them.
Does morality require God?
Therefore, all moral commands are the commands of a single, external agent. We are heavily influenced by moral commands and other commands of reason. ... Thus, the commands of morality (and the commands of reason more generally) require a god because they are, and can only be, the commands of one.
