I can't take the bait but I like your line of thinking.
Philosophers have argued that it follows natural laws (i.e. the categorical imperative)

Moralicity comes from Moralitrons, but I do not know where Morality comes from. Great question once again OMG.
I guess it comes from the heart. smile.

While religions are often given credit for morality this is definitely not the only view. Kant argued that religions actually start from a moral code (link below).
Also, Ayn Rand makes some decent arguments for morality not requiring religion (link below).
Thus, I would conclude that morals spring from philosophy (humankind's examination of itself and condition) whether or not the philosophy included religious aspects.
Oh and concerning your word play Morality comes from Mores: "They consist of shared understandings about the kinds of behavior likely to evoke approval, disapproval, toleration or sanction, within particular contexts."

Well, not that morality has anything to do with electricity or electrons, but philisophically speaking, God.

Monkeys. Not a joke! Except it should be apes. About everything that we consider as moral has been observed in apes.
