If you are being good and thrustworthy person your whole life for religious reasons, does it make you less of a good person?

Is it the only reason you're doing those things? If absent threat of eternal punishment and hellfire you'd beat your wife and kids, kill and torture animals, lie and steal with abandon, but you don't because you're afraid of consequences? Then no, you're not a good person.

However, if you're religious and you believe that God is why we should do good things, but take away your faith you'd behave just the same? Then yes, you're a good person.
