It means doing good things because they're the right thing to do, not becuase I'm told they're the right thing to do by someone preaching an invisible person's supposed wishes.
When I help someone down the stairs to catch a train, I don't have to look up to the sky and say "look! I did something good", I just carry on like it was nothing.
That's what it means to be a compassionate human being, not a religious automaton.
