I always find this idea absurd. People do not need to believe in a religion to be a well-behaved person but many of the people think that people must have religious beliefs to be a good person. What are your opinions of this question ?
I agree. Ypu don't have to have a religion for you to have morals. I think even when it comes to percentages, people who belong religions are even less moral than atheists. It doesn't take believing in any diety to know what's right and what's wrong.

most of the people think that if a person talks about God, then he has a conscience...but this is very abstract who and how understands God...someone can talk about God and kill.. and someone can call themselves an atheist and feed every day animals and engage in charity...you need to look at the actions of a person and draw conclusions

Even though religion show how people should really behave in their holy books, it doesn't mean that its the real reason why people are mostly morally upright in the first place. A child will know what is wrong from what is right and it doesn't take religion to show the child that at all.

I don't believe that their is morality or ethics without god, only fear of consequences from other people..
If their is no god then what is the point of being "good" other than fear of the law or community rejection/retaliation?
Like, even if I knew I would 100% get away with it in the eyes of man, I wouldn't shoot someone in their head and take all of their money.. If their is no god then why wouldn't you??
If you knew you would get away with it as far as human society, why would you not steal and kill if their is no god?
I believe in god and if you think that makes me any less of a person then good for you.. I could care less..
But I don't believe in "good" without a god, because if their is no such thing as god then their is no such thing as evil..

I wouldn't say it is exclusive to atheists, all religions think that their set of moral principals it the correct and true way that life should exist. That does not make any of them right. It is history that built up in a certain way, using religion as a form of "common law" the early ages, leading us to the world we inhabit today. It is a relatively new concept not to follow any religion, pagans across the British Isles were considered immoral by the Romans, but that was a different type of spiritual guidance.

I don't believe atheists have no moral principles. Morality is a wide range scope in humanity. If an atheist a father he knows exactly what is the right thing to do to his son or daughter, doing good to fellows, etc, those things is the act of morality. And also Morality is not built by religion, it is religion built by people with their own pattern of morality

For me atheist believe that there is ni God and generally it is already a belief. Back to the question, maybe because some people thinks that atheist has no biblical rule that is guiding them but in fact you dont need any rule to be humane. Just try to respect each persons idea.

Basically, humans have limited knowledge in many things, both about the visible and the unseen, and also the limitations in predicting what will happen to him and others, and so forth. Because of these limitations then man needs to need a religion to help and provide spiritual enlightenment to his self. Man needs religion not just for his own goodness before God alone, but also to help himself in the face of various problems that sometimes can not be understood

Humans usually equate Moral principles to Religion and as the word atheists imply and that is what it makes other people to fear or think that they dont have moral when in realty bot all who are into religions are moral and not all atheists are immoral

Many people think it is outrageous, or even blasphemous, to deny that morality is of divine origin. Either some divine being ... This observation leads to a second: atheists and agnostics do not behave less morally than religious believers, even if their virtuous acts are mediated by different principles.

Goodness is one of God's innate traits that gave in us, we have this goodness and we don't need to pretend or to be religious in order to be good, sometimes those whom we highly think and well respected religious person are the ones who has none of it but all hypocrisy and rules and law without mercy in the way they act, religion is not away to be good person.
