Religion of course has a lot of influence on a person especially if s/he has been actively trained according to their beliefs. But the biggest influence in a persons life is the family. How you are raised in the family influences much on how you act as a person. There are lots of people who do not practice any religion but are really good people by nature. There are also lots of religious people who are like monsters in dealing with other people. It really depends on the person. For me, I'm not a good kind of person but I do strive to be one. I'm done with the stage of wanting to have a bad image. I want to be a good person now so that I can easily go anywhere without any fear in my heart. You also get most of your favors when you're a good person. And I do believe that my goodness will be rewarded in the afterlife, if I do succeed in being a good person. LOL wish me luck!

i agree with you till some extent.... giing your exxample to explain is also a nie thing... family is no doubt a main roel playing in fporming ones persnality but still my questin remains wht is more nice or should i say bad...a religious person knownw to all playing bkunders in secret or a person known to be bad but does good deeds.... if i take an example of my friend who is known to have bad reputation in his friends because of his anger stubbornes & notmixing with peoples..... but he is a nice person coz i know him well..... so what hurts more in a society?
