I'm agnostic, yet I have a strong sense of morality, what is right and what is wrong. I enjoy helping people because it makes me feel good and I see that the well-being of mankind is for the best of society.
So if you depend on a crutch such as religion to be a moral person, are you really truly moral in the purest sense?
Compare it to this - if you have natural 20/20 vision, you don't need glasses. If your vision is less, or you are farsighted or nearsighted, you wear glasses to correct your vision.
But just because you wear glasses, it doesn't mean that you naturally have 20/20 vision.
So my question is, If Christians and other religious sects are only moral because of belief in God and expectation of a great reward, are they really moral?
