Goodness and faith in God are two different aspects altogether, though there is a remote connection between the two as man's goodness is attributable to God or Nature which is believed to be His creation.
All persons whom we term as good need not believe in God like all other persons who believe and those include many bad persons also.

No. There are good and bad people among the atheists, and good and bad people among the believers. Believing in God doesn't make one a good person, and one doesn't have to believe in God in order to be a good person. Good people are good people no matter what their religious beliefs. Same with bad people.

Not all good people believe in God. There are good people out there that are atheists. There are also 'bad' people who believe in God. Take a look at violence in the name of religion. That is bad. It can go either way, it's not all in black and white.

I'm religious, but I am not critical of people who don't believe. I have met wonderful and decent people with GOOD MORALS that have proven to me that atheists are just as nice as religious folk.
Besides, just because they dont believe in God at the time that you meet them- does not mean that they will never believe.
To each his own.

That depends upon your definition of good. One can certainly be kind, honorable, giving, respectful of others, and contribute to the betterment of society and not believe in a god.

I've known incredibly bad people who believe in god and incredibly nice people who don't. Some people think that if they believe in god, they're automatically "saved" and they don't have to act in a kind way to others.

Are all good people intelligent? If they are, then no good person will believe in god. But it's not only about intelligence. It's also about emotional submission.

No one is good except for God.

No such thing as a good person.
Romans 3:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
