What is "acceptable" is decided at an individual level, and by societal norms. These are both dynamic. There is no transcript. The idea that "morality" should be considered to be the same by everyone, and from everyone's point of view is absurd.
It doesn't really affect the question though. If someone believes morality is objective and they're getting it from God or the bible or whatever, then they can keep on following it the same way after finding out God doesn't exist, or they can stop and rethink. Those appear to be the only options.
If you would stop and rethink, then that says something about the authority being more important than the content.
