Now a days when most of us dont believe in religion , what motivates you to be a good human being ?

Try to give proper reasons & no quotes or may be things like because it is the right way of living life , if you think so you need to explain it further like how it is not good to be selfish & unethical i.e.why even though a thing doesnt benefit you, you should do it as it is the right thing to do. Also please come back here to see,i may have posted an argument to your answer.

PS : I know it is not the right category to answer but it has the maximum traffic , you can always choose to ignore it if you think the same. I didnt get any good answers when i asked in the correct category.

    I don't practice religion at all and I have been told by many people that I am one of the nicest people they ever met. I have never broke the law, i never assaulted anybody, also i try not to lie as best I can. For me it's not how my parents raised me or how other people acted around me. I believe a good person is just born that way. A bad person can not become good and a good person can't become bad. Religion does not make you a good person. Religion is hope for most people hope that there is something greater then what we see. Although religions have rules or codes to live by that vary between them. I believe religion was created to maintain order and give people a reason to fight to work and to live. Now it's it's used as a lat resort for people that have nothing to live for or have run in to bad times. There are people who are just firm believers as well but the majority rules.

    This world has a balance of good and bad. No matter religious or not, your behavior isn't reflected because it is just the way you were raised. I prefer to be good only because I want to become a good influence on younger relatives and I understand the meaning of respect.
