If someone does something good because of their religious beliefs, rather than just doing it because it's a good thing to do, then that's not admirable. It's just following rules. It is just lucky it was a good thing they did and not a bad one, this time.
If their beliefs inspire them to be a good person in general, and then they go on to do good things, then that is great. It's good they found inspiration. It doesn't make their beliefs true or respectable though, as I highlighted with my goat example.
