Is it a response to religious people who think atheists are less moral? I would rather not dignify that. If you wanna address that argument then bring it to them but to use that as your motivation is low rent.
Announcing in a smug manner that you're a "good" person is something that I associate with the religious. Whether I'm good is surely an issue that those around me and society at large also have a say in.
Also, I don't trust people who make it a point to say they're "good" or "honest", etc. I've usually found the opposite is true with those types.
I do say, however, that "you can be good without god". In fact, that's my go-to phrase when I'm defacing hotel Bibles. I usually write that in there.
