You don't need god to know what is moral. You need god for there to be morality.
To confuse the former and latter is to confuse moral epistemology with moral ontology.
God is the form of the good, which is conscious. Good luck forming beliefs about right and wrong without employing the form of the good. While you might have beliefs about morality, and those beliefs might be justified and true, that doesn't eliminate the need for the existence of the form of the good for there to even be morality in the first place.
