What do you say when a theist says morality isn't real without god?

9/10 whenever I get pulled into a discussion/debate with theists over the existence of god, they bring up the concept of morality and how it doesn't exist without a grand sky wizard. I have a few responses, such as evolution and society teaching our children morals as they grow up, but they just spew scripture at me. What new things would you recommend I respond with? Many thanks and much love.
