I know good Christians. I know people that visit the sick after a hard day’s work, who help clean up their communities and help the poor. I respect them enormously, I just don’t share their religion.

Same. Good Christians are not all up in your face telling you how good they are. They are quietly charitable. They lead by example, but don’t necessarily pin their religion to their actions. These people exist.

One of my Christian friends recently made a post on FB where she pointed out it was her religious duty to take care of herself and live a good life, NOT to shove her beliefs down others’ throats.

Those are good people who happen to be Christian. Christianity isn’t (or shouldn’t be) the reason people behave decently, though it is often the reason people behave badly.

I know good non Christians who do the same thing.

They sit by quietly while the pastors and priests molest the children and the Republicans invoke their god to commit evil.

They aren't good, they just aren't actively bad in public.
