Being a good person, and following a particular religion are perfectly capable of being separate things.

first there is a difference between proclaiming and believing in God. second if you are evil you wouldn't believe in God or worship God. in a physical sense you could be a good person but how is good. The just man commits 7 sins a day and will you because you brought up the question, do you look at woman, do you lie, do you judge others as good or bad, has any one ever got angry at you, have you stolen, cursed, had a bad thought and disobeyed your parents before. i am not saying that followers of god rid these out of their body i am just saying that think of all the sins you have committed and then a man comes and lives a sinless and takes the bullet for you (Jesus) now do you under stand

It's good for the rest of the world for you to be a good person however, being good, doesn't give you eternal life with God.
Satan himself believes in God. God says, no eternal life for him either. Being evil and believing doesn't make you a better person.
Salvation and eternal life comes from belief in Jesus Christ as your Lord and your Savior and following Him in a personal relationship.

I'm a good person. All you have to do is understand that most people on the planet need a smile, AT THE VERY LEAST, once in a while and if you have the compassion to give that and more, ... God doesn't have much to do with it. I don't know if there's a god, but I DO know, if somebody needs something from me, I'll offer it if I can. I think that makes me good-hearted, anyway.
Cheers.

No you dont have to believe in God to be a good person and your not a good person just because you believe in God.

You can be a good person and believe in God, no problem. Most people who truly believe in God as the savior of humanity will not be bad people. If they are, then they are probably not true believers (but we aren't the ones to judge that).
It even says in the Bible that "even demons believe in God", but they hate him.
God Bless

You do not have to believe in God to be a good person. Most people who do not believe in God are still really good in their heart and actions....
I would worry about some of the people who do believe in God though, they often think their belief is a free ticket to be mean to others.

You can be a good person and not believe in the Christian God, and if you do evil things, well, you're evil. The Bible says, "By their fruits, ye shall know them." Matthew 17:16

I am not really a believer hence agnostic, but that doesnt mean Im evil. Infact, Ive noticed I tend to have more morals than the other so called believers.

There's a difference between a person being moral and having good and positive values in life and a person being a religious believer.
While there are many instances of the two going hand-in-hand this isn't always the case.

Belief in God makes it Harder to be a good person which is why generally atheists have a higher moral standard of behavior than believers.
( I'm not an atheist so I include myself)
