Freud argues that morality comes from the super-ego, but there is no evidence to suggest that morality comes from the super-ego.
Perhaps God uses the super-ego to give us morality.
Just because different people have slightly different rules, this doesn't mean that there isn't a moral law.
Kant's argument gives purpose to being good, as the Summum Bonum is achievable in the afterlife.
Kant also explains where our ideas of right and wrong come from.
John Hick supports Kant's belief in objective moral law leading to a belief in God. He explains that recognising moral claims as taking precedence over all other interests is to believe in reality of some kind, other than the natural world, that is superior and entitled to our obedience. This is at least a move in the direction of God.
H.P. Owen's version of the moral argument suggests that if there is an objective moral law, there must be a law-giver. Owen says, 'It is impossible to think of a command without thinking of a commander,' as objective moral laws are not self-explanatory, because they do not write themselves.
