Part of the problem with saying that God defines morality is that it makes the idea that God is good vacuously true, which I don't think is what most religious people have in mind.
(Worshipping a god because you think he's good makes more sense to me than worshipping a god because you think he defines what good is, although neither makes a whole lot of sense to me, so I should probably just shut up about it.)
