"If you do not believe in God, there is no objective morality."
They first claim that there is objective morality and that it is ingrained in all of us, but then they claim that it does not exist if you do not believe in God (of the Bible). It's as if not believing in God means you don't have a left knee. Perhaps this is because objective morality does not exist in the first place.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
