I find it funny, the term 'be good for goodness sake' coming from a christian. Because for the christians that believe in hell, they aren't good for goodness sake. They are good, to avoid hell. I don't actually believe that, most christians are good just because they are good people, even if they claim they are only good because of the bible, most of them probably don't mean it.
Meanwhile, when atheists are good, they are good for goodness sake, because they understand that our actions have consequences.
And what's even funnier is that according to Catholics, you don't even have to be good to go to heaven. A serial rapist / murder could convert and repent on his deathbed and profess true belief in god and go to heaven. Meanwhile, perfectly innocent people (like Christopher Hitchens), who's only crime is to not believe in the right god, are burning in hell.

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
