Our morals and laws come from religion?

Hey guys,

So I'm sitting in my sociology class and I'm reading on the functions of society in a functionalist view. So I came accross that social institutions give values and sacred norms to the people, such values as "do not steal" and "do not kill" are embodied into religion and the law.

So without religion laws like this will never be made?

It will be nice to hear your point of view on this. Also forgive my spellings
I'm on the iPhone lol.

In the case of adultery, it's is morally wrong to cheat on your partner, but if there was no religion will society still think adultery is wrong?
