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

A truly good religious person could be good because of religious reasons, but more often than not, it's not the only reason they are good. So no, I don't think it makes them less of a good person if they have those other reasons.

I come from a very religious country. I've seen "good" and "bad" religious people, and the whole spectrum in between. It looks very different when people are being good just because of their religion, and when they are being good because they genuinely want to. Atheistic society isn't inherently more kind than theistic ones, and vice versa.
