When I ask them, "What is the Source of Morality?" They say something like, "We're born with it," or "Morality is innate in human nature."

There’s nothing innate about morality. There is an argument to be made for certain social behaviors being selected for as they confer survival benefit especially in large social groups, but ultimately there is no objective universal moral standard by which we are judged. Our behaviors are shaped largely by societal norms and what allows us to thrive in a given society.
