Why do non-believers hold believers to a higher standard if they don't believe in the God that's supposed to give them the ability to live the higher standard?

This question doesn't make sense. Believers claim to hold the moral high ground in most situations by virtue of their belief. Nonbelievers do not share those beliefs - including and especially the idea that God gives them the ability to hold anyone to any particular standard. Is there any way I could convince you to rephrase the question into something answerable?

When someone finds it important to let everyone else know that they are a Christian and they have to pray about things and continuously make "praise Jesus" type comments they are attempting to identify themselves are more righteous and trustworthy than other people. It is exceptionally despicable and repugnant when those people take advantage of the trust others might place in them because of their “righteousness” are caught in lies and immoral activities. When people place themselves in a position of having higher standards then, yes, they can and should be held to a higher standard.
