People often behave ethically even without religious beliefs. is correct.

The philosopher argues that morality resting entirely on faith is fragile, because it falls apart when faith is questioned. Support for this view must show that morality can stand on a base other than faith.

The observation that people often behave ethically without religious beliefs shows that moral conduct does not depend on faith, which backs the claim that a faith-only morality is unnecessary and fragile.

Secular laws being more widely accepted is about legal acceptance, not about the fragility of faith-based morality. Religion providing a foundation for community values supports the opposite view. Atheists being immoral too says nothing about faith-based morality collapsing.
