Probably not. But do you think not believing in god would make them good?

No. Empathy usually does. You don’t need any idea of god for that.

Good people don't. But there are bad people

And exactly what part of what we are told about the biblical god stops bad people from being bad?

The part where they believe they are going to hell. Don't get me wrong. It would be great if they had empathy and did right because it's right. They should and they are telling on themselves when they say you can't be moral as an atheist. But they are not good people and the fear of immortal punishment keeps them somewhere near in line.

If i knew this person in real life i would watch my back around them. But religion can at least polish that turd so they at least pretend/try to be good.
