IMO, if you feel that you need a god to make you behave, you are stuck in a pre-moral developmental state. The god functions as a surrogate parent, punishing or rewarding; hence, behaviour is being driven by extrinsic factors (the approval or disapproval of the "parent"). Only when the motivation becomes internalized, driven by one's own desire to do good with no other reward or disincentive, can one be said to be a moral agent.
