No, everyone doesn't. At the very least, they don't have to take the Dawkin's (sic) Scale as their gospel or set of tablets of the Law. Written religion is older than the Roman empire, and predates modern concepts of scientific evidence. Had the inventors of deities had that advantage, you wouldn't have to fiddle around with the Dawkins Scale. You've inherited your concept of deities from them, and seem reluctant to discard talking about them as beliefs mainly because other people believe in them.
