I've been saying this for years. If you are "being good" in order to appease a deity or to secure a comfortable afterlife, you aren't a moral person. Goodness should be for its own sake. Do unto others isn't about ensuring better treatment of yourself, its about treating people the way you wish to be treated yourself without the expectation of quid pro quo.
