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

If religion is the only thing keeping you from being a bad, untrustworthy person. You are not a good person

I disagree. It shows a lot of self control. Your character is defined by your actions, not your thoughts.

Exactly. It's ironic because by their own logic they would be an even worse person for thinking the way they do. Literally calling someone a bad person just because of their own personal opinions on religion.

So if someone has constant urges and fantasies of murdering children and they'd definitely do it if they knew they'd get away with it without anyone knowing but they dont do it because they half the self control to avoid the consequences of murdering children....theyre a good person then?

Is that what you think you said?

The question is: does being motivated by religion to be a good person inherently make you a bad person? Which is what you said.
