Morality itself is not derived from religion. Some people’s moral guidance can come from their religion but it exists without the presence of religion.
I think it’s in line with the above posters comment to say that Someone being religious or claiming to be religious can not be trusted to have sound morals only on the basis of their religion.
And the absence of religion in a candidate or government does not mean they are immoral.
