I think morality can exist entirely without religion. Ask an atheist. It doesn't directly answer the original question of which begets the other, but the existence of one without the other only applies in one direction -- morality without religion. I don't think anyone can make an argument or example of a religion without morality, so I believe one is the building block of the other, morality the building block of religion.
