CS Lewis wrote a chapter called the good atheist in the bad Christian in his book Mere Christianity. He basically discusses the conundrum of how many times how atheist behave better than Christians. His conclusion was that we do not know how much better and atheists would be if they became a Christian or how much worse a bad Christian would be if they were an atheist. He also said that it is easy for God to make nice things such as friendly puppies so being a nice person has no value while redeeming one into salvation cost him his son’s life.

The good man has no need of God.

Romans 3:10

As it is written,
There is none righteous,
no, not one:
