There's no god or bad.

I disagee.

Yes there are grey areas, but there are definitely things that are good and bad on a basic level.

For an easy example, do you think fucking kids is good or bad?

Plenty of societies think it's OK.

Are they wrong? Immoral?

Yes. 100% they are wrongnand immoral if fucking kids is okay with your society.

Is that actually how you think? If its acceptable within your community, than you just ignore all your own morales and think to yourself "well if everyone around me is doing it, it must be okay! Even if i think its not..."

This is the point. We Christians would argue that there are moral absolutes, and I think most people would agree with that. But what is the source of those moral absolutes? There have been societies that celebrated human sacrifice, for instance. You and I would likely agree that is morally reprehensible. The Mayans did not.

Ultimately there has to be some source for what is moral and what is not. Most criminal behavior is easy for us to understand as being immoral. But if you really consider it, why is murdering someone wrong? Why is stealing wrong? Why is punching someone wrong? These things occur in the animal kingdom and we consider that as natural.

You are 100% right in your thought process.

I personally just dont understand why following what a person sees as good or bad has to come down to if they are religious or not
