It doesn't matter if most people can act morally without a higher power when the people who have the most power on Earth can't act morally without a higher power. Yeah, it's easy for someone who has no authority over anybody to be a good person, but what about people like George Bush, Reagan, Trump, J Edgar Hoover, Putin, Hitler, Stalin, etc? Sure, most people aren't going to go out and murder, rob, steal just because there's no God, but the people at the top aren't going to give anyone the same courtesy. Furthermore when you're willing to do whatever it takes to get in power, you are more likely to get that power and be able to do even more damage to more people. It's no secret that CEO's are more likely to be sociopaths, because sociopathic behavior will get you ahead in this world. Read the 48 Laws of Power and tell me that that type of behavior won't get you ahead or isn't sociopathic.
