Being religious means good human being?

PS - Please avoid narrowing POV's on particular religion as this is pretty general topic. DT can close the post if COC/Rules are not adhered .....without notice.

There are lot of emphasis on characterization of individuals based on whether he or she is religious or no. Cann't good leaders or humans exist without being religious or vice versa.

Can a individuals without possesing inclination towards religious values be good leaders or humble/good humans ? Why does being religious, come in way of being political leaders, does it really matter?

Amy is a good person😊. Amy is also religious😊. Therefore, all religious persons are good😕.

we need to distinguish between sufficient and necessary conditions here. amy's religiousness may be a sufficient condition for her being good along with many other conditions but it is not a neccessary condition😃 the last sentence in above example is not valid even though the first two are valid😊

😆😆😆 okie, what i am trying to say here is that all religious persons are not necessarily good persons as well. similarly, all non-religious persons are not bad.

for me, believing in god is different than being religious. one can believe in god and still keep away from all the pooja paath and vrat upwaas and still be a good person. what matters most is believing in goodness. this shd supersede one's belief in god....imho.

also depends what "good" and "bad" means... 😊

kisi key post per comment karney sey pehley ppora padh lena is "good"...sirf ek line padh ker post karna...not so good😆

jokes apart, u have a point here. diff people have diff perceptions of what's good and what's bad but we still have a general perception of what "good" is all about....and most religions do teach us that same stuff most of the time. still, being religious is not akin to being good all the time.
