I've never been a thief. I've never killed anyone. I've never done drugs. I'm not an alcaholic. I've never been unfaithful while I was married. I'm reasonable healthy. I always helped people in need. Am I a bad person because I'm not religious.

Religion isn't for everyone.
In fact as far as I can tell, religion is only for those who are unable to think for themselves.
Spirituality is very different from religion, and far more important.

If You Have Done What You Say Know
You Are Of The True Religion Gods Common Sense
Religion Is Living Your Life With Faith Of What You Are Doing
You Don't Need That Faith But Have It

Not being religious does not make you a bad person. It simply makes you lost to the Lord. And if you don't mind that then I say keep on keeping on. If you do feel like you are missing something in your life then I would say re evaluate your stance on religion and perhaps give it a try.

Do not worry. You are fine. You are a good person. Some people are very religious, but need not be a good person at all. Example: Commiting sins for 6 days, and on Sunday, go to church and confess. Does this make him a good person? I doubt.

A bad person? On the contrary, you sound like a good person.
Being religious does not necessarily make you a good person; there are millions of religious prison inmates. Many priests have betrayed the trust of their flock. You can be considered a good person regardless of your religious fervor.

Being religious is over rated. You seem like a good person. Why would God repremend you cause you are not religious. It just doesn't make any sense. I am sure that when you go, your spirit will find a very peacful place to settle wherever that may be. Just keep being as good a person as you have been.

The Bible says that all our righteous acts are as filthy rags in the sight of a holy God! So God made a way to become righteous in his sight by sending Jesus to take our punishment for our sins. So what God requires is that you believe and receive his spirit and be born again. Now you can do this with out being religious. Instead of religion, you have a relation ship with God through his spirit that he will send to live in you but it only comes in the NAME OF HIS SON JESUS! See your are not born again and God requires you to be to be righteous in his sight. Not whether we do good deeds but did we believe he is God and raise Jesus from the dead? If you believe this you can ask him and he will send his spirit into you and BLESS YOUR LIFE! It also says if you don't believe, you all ready stand condemned! So no matter how good you are you stand condemned, because you have not received the one he sent! Jesus the Savior of the world including you.

I believe that God judges us on the intentions of our heart so even if you're not religious of course you're still a good person. And you've never broken a commandment!

You would be a good person who hasn't done what God commands of us in order to make it.
Why not take that last step
Hear the Word
Believe the Word
Admit you are a sinner...( we all are )
Repent of your sins
Be baptised
Live a faithful life
