If they had advanced morals, they would consider humans as a bunch of crazy people, maybe worse than how we see the people from middle age.
I'm still not sure about your point of view. Maybe chimps have similar morals to humans (primitive humans).
Religious morals are mostly a alpha male figure moral, like animal kingdown in some way. God it's a figure of power, and in animal kingdow they fear pr respect power.
I'm afraid most people follow social laws by just fear, fear of jail or fear of hell. This is not true moral.

I would expect advanced alien species to recognize this fundamental difference between humans and all other animals. In fact, we would expect their morality to be an essential feature of being considered advanced. There's a reason we imagine advanced aliens to be humanoid and not dog-like for instance.
