You're welcome, especially given how many times I must've answered this question. *sighs* There needs to be an FAQ for some of this stuff on here SOMEWHERE. Or an automated response system that uses the most cut-n-dried Ockham's Razor responses...
But to answer your question: It's quite easy. I do not add "god" to the motivations of what I do that I and the majority of those in my culture consider good. And therefore, I am good, without god, because I did not attach the unnecessary assumption that I must be good because of god. Ockham's Razor. Good exists well enough without the supposition of god.
