They are, but they are also two characteristics that folks don't have any choice about.
The secular West has adopted the philosophy of "everything goes as long as it doesn't harm me", which falls apart at scrutiny. This philosophy has also invaded their Christian population, which is why you see they caved to pressure.
I still have moral views despite not believing in any god.
I encourage you to learn more about evolution. The evidence and coherency is overwhelming. “The Greatest Show on Earth” by Richard Dawkins is a very good brief overview of the evidence. It’s quite stunning.
Also, Dawkins is a suspect figure to say the least, he's all over the place and clearly has an agenda.
If you study evolution with an open mind, you will see that it is true. There is a reason that the percentage of people who don't accept evolution has steadily decreased over the decades. It is by far the most compelling explanation for the origin of all the life we see around us, including ourselves. You can then see how the capacity for morality is an evolved trait, like all innate human behaviors.
Specific moral systems, such as the Judeo-Christian tradition you mention, are the product of cultural "evolution". They are built on top of our innate moral capacities.
