Christians/good people
#16
RE: Christians/good people
Let's say someone is a Christian - a devout, sincere Christian (this test works for any religious affiliation, btw). This person is a good person, by any metrics that matter. They give to charity, help their neighbours, they're active in their community, they don't abuse their kids, and so on. By practically any criteria you can think of, this person qualifies as good.

Then one day, they lose their faith (how they lost it is immaterial ((no pun intended)) ). They odds that this person will start ignoring the poor, snubbing their neighbours and kicking their children are so small as to not be worth considering.

People are good, bad or indifferent in spite of their religious beliefs, not because of them.
