The two are intimately connected.
God has no origin because he is defined as an infinite and eternal being that never began to exist.
The universe is not infinite (it is expanding) and it is not eternal (it is getting older with the passage of time).
So, the origin of the universe deserves our attention. The "origin" of God is a contradiction in turn.
This is so circular it doesn't even try pretend it's not.
God has no origin because he's defined that way.
