It really doesn't much matter where it comes from. If you discount the "magic" theory of where ethics, morality and conscience comes from, what you are left with is that there was and is a social advantage (or good for the species) for a pattern of behavior that comes from acting in this manner.Many animals exhibit altruistic behaviour - elephants and whales support their sick and injured, gorillas are upset at the death of their troop mates, and almost all mammals and birds protect their young. Whether they feel upset (have pangs of conscience) when they cannot follow these inclinations is not known.
If by "conscience" the implication is that you feel bad or upset when you have disobeyed your god or your religion by doing things that are, by their definition, wrong - then you are talking about a trained response by the proponents and supporters of that religion. Atheists would like see this as a predictable outcome of an imposed social behaviour.
