"God" is not needed to have morality.
He specified a specific sub-class of ethics; the absolute variety. As unproveable fundamental assumptions are unavoidable, some form of authority/authoritative document that is totally trusted (divine) is required for that sub-class - else, when someone recognizes and disagrees with one or more of those fundamental assumptions, there isn't anything that can be said.
