The Moral Compasses of Christians

Do religious institutions have a copyright to morals? One would tend to think so, given the amount of credence religious followers (and in particular, Religious leaders) give to the origins of human morals and where we get them.
Christians claim that secular society gets its morals from religion and that we would be corrupt and in chaos without religious morals. But wait a minute. Where did the morals that Christians point to in the Bible really come from?

The notion that God somehow used a Dictaphone and left a mini tape on Mt Sinai for Moses to stumble upon and transcribe somehow lacks credibility. The Bible was written by many (unknown) authors over a period of some 1300 years, unearthed some 300 years later, then translated. And where did all the pearls of wisdom moral stories come from? No more than the from the sages and philosophers of the day, who, By the way, were not Christians nor necessarily religious.
So, what's the difference anyway? Morals and societal standards that were initiated thousands of years ago were barbaric, gruesome, and primitive by today's standards and nobody with any modicum of fiber would ever stand by such nonsense..

Except for Christians.
