The counter-argument being, of course, that one has systems of moral philosophy (and the one I'm most familiar with personally is that propounded by Plato) which are entirely divorced from religion. (That's why, almost uniquely among ancient philosophers, the works of Plato have come down to us complete; the early church fathers such as Augustine considered him to have been a "Christian who just happened to live before Christ", and preserved his teachings.)
