No the problem with what you believe is you believe that someone can only be a good person if they are a Christian...which rather lives out about 3 or 4 billion people in the world.

But that's not true; not at all.

There are "good people" who aren't Christians, and there are professing Christians who live worse lives than the most staunch Atheists.

Christianity--regardless of what certain sects might say--isn't a religion of works, meaning you don't work your way to Heaven. The good works a Christian does should be done as the result of thankfulness for salvation by the Grace of God and love for God and for other people.

Perhaps other Christians think that only Christians are "good people", but I don't. In fact, I don't even like to think of people as "good" or "bad", since everyone is capable of doing the best and worst things imaginable. But Christian's aren't any "better" than non-Christians. I'd go as far as to say that Christianity today has almost completely thrown out the law, where your typical Christian doesn't look any different from anyone else.
