I did take that test, and it makes several assumptions. First of all, it assumes that moral laws and natural laws are similar, when they are not. If humans did not exist, as the did not for millions of years, morality would not exist, but natural laws would.
If you lived on an island alone, where your actions would not affect another human being, there would be no morals. But the moment you encounter another person, a system of rules would spring up.
Because we live in a society, we have morals. Our morals grow out of what makes societies work. This is because the early societies that adopted other practices did not survive. This isn't because of a god, but because these ways of doing things would allow for the survival and quality of life for our progeny.

I can do it too!

kind contribution to the Iowa Committee to Stop ERA,

books of all the religions on earth."
[Elizabeth Cady Stanton, The Woman's Bible
Part 2. (From Great Infidels pg. 143.)]

than that of blindfolded fear."

God exists in all of us whether we choose to acknowledge it or not. Difference between a spiritual person versus someone with hardly any faith is that the spiritual person chose to turn around and face the presence of God, which comes from within and can also be seen in the world around us. The Most High is ever present
