Being non-religious does not make you immoral any more than being religious makes you moral. One of the requirements of morality has to do with loving God. In fact, that's the most important one. It is kind of hard to love God if you don't believe in God.

That's not how Merriam-Webster defines it. The set of morals for a particular faith may require such devotion (and likely would, considering the source), but the word 'morality' itself, as defined in the English language, has no such specific requirements.
