If the only reason you don’t do bad things is because you’re afraid of punishment, you’re not a good person. The problem is that we used punishment as a crutch to begin with.

This is the problem behind religion.
Athiests can be good people. Athiests can also be bad people. Same as any other group.
But hardcore christians will tell you that anyone who doesn’t believe in god is an immoral sinner, who freely murders rapes and steals without empathy. Which factually speaking isn’t true at all. But that’s how they see us. Like the only reason they, a christian, aren’t doing these things is the threat of hell, and the dangling carrot of heaven.
