It's certainly possible to act in a moral way without religious guidance, the Bible itself says "By their own conscience they are accused, or even excused." Regarding unbelieving gentiles, but one needs to factor in the whole, not just individuals. Over a large population, over a large time frame, which system promotes the most moral behaviour? Which system is best at combating dishonesty, violence and other immoral behaviour? That can be tested empirically. Moreover, I would also point out that multiple people can behave in a way that is outwardly moral, but for different reasons, their moral reasoning is different, just leading to the same conclusion. If a new situation arises, one system might promote immoral bahavior while the other doesn't, even if they agree on another matter.
