Where is the requirement to do so?
It's in Dawkins' quote. He's working under the assumption that people have to take responsibility for their actions. Actions which, in the context of "belief in a sacrifice", clearly refer to moral actions.
Now if you reject this requirement, you reject Dawkins' point. Which I do too. Just for slightly different reasons.
