God is the source of all goodness. Complete lack of God would mean complete lack of goodness. All morals you have come either directly from God as you learn about Him or indirectly through another person(your parents perhaps) whose source of morality can eventually be traced back to God. Same can be said for intelligence.
No one is born innately moral or intelligent. Kids dont come out respectful and kind and obedient and loving.
Atheist pride themselves on how wonderful they are with no need of God in their reality, yet all the decency and morals that they have in them are only there because of God, rather they acknowledge that or not.
So do a test. If you have a moral that you are proud of(lets say not stealling), find out what person instilled that in you, then ask who instilled that in them, eventually it will lead back to someone being inspired by God.
