Personally, by whatever measure I could call myself a good person, it has it's origins in no justification, no reason - it's just who I am, I'm comfortable with that - I simply don't require a reason. How about you?
Well that reason is what religious people are actually asking for when they ask this question I think. I think it is strange when you think about it, that you are completely aware that you are a good person for no reason and justification and you know you could potentially benefit your life if you weren't but are still choosing not to.
