Dawkins doesnt deny that he wants to worship a higher being, he just calls it a dellusion. Maybe it is, maybe it isnt. Of course I say that it isnt a dellusion...
So how have I taken Dawkins out of context?
Because Dawkins absolutely does not believe in god. He even explicitly states this to be the case.
Case and point:

He expressly states god is a fictional character almost right off the bat and later mentions that he does not believe in any god (of the myriad of gods Stein threw at him).
At best, he states that there is a very low chance that such a being could actually exist when pressed to put a number on this but again, he doesn't believe this to be the case.
As such, you are unequivically wrong.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
