I ask this in this forum because I think people's self-beliefs can stem from their religion. For example, when I went to a Baptist church in Texas, the pastor declared that we were all bad and going to the smoking section of eternity. So I stopped going to that church.
I also heard a nun once declare that if you leave church feeling good about yourself, the priest did a bad job of the homily.
This makes me wonder whether, in general, people think they're "good" and if that belief is because of or in spite of a religion or religious/spiritual experience.
