Your book is relentlessly critical of religion and belief in God. It's a sub-theme that runs through it. And although Smith argues that our conscience comes from those around us, he doesn't rule out the possibility of God. I would argue that Hayek, another, our modern champion of the ideas in your book, was a believer that morality did have an enormous reliance on religion. But my problem with that is twofold: One, I simply can't see the dispassionate evidence for it.
