People may have many different opinions about God and if He even exists. Especially these days, there are many views about God. People are encouraged to believe what they want, and this can cause much debate between groups of people. To answer the question if we can be good without God, a person must first answer another question. How do you define God? Is He the Creator, the Savior, just some object, or something that doesn't even exist?
If your belief is that God is the Savior and Creator, then the good inside you reflects your relationship with God. You want to do things that the Bible commands, and when you do those and choose to live a life according to Biblical principles, you are good as long as God is an active part of your life.
If your belief is that God is some object or even something that doesn't exist, your definition of good may be everything that pleases your personally, which could include money, objects, etc. This is not to say that these things are not good more most people, but they be more pleasing to a person that doesn't believe that God exists rather than a person who has total and complete faith in God.
Personally, I believe that it is impossible to be good without God. Being raised in a Christian home gave me the Biblical foundation that I try to make a part of my everyday life. Since I was raised learning these principles, I believe that you must have God in your life to be "good," and because of this, I try to live with God as an active part of my life.
