I am not sure where this idea comes from. I have never once heard anyone say specifically "You need a belief to be a good person".
If people think so it might be the idea religious people are more charitable so must be better people. Not that anyone would really ever says this.
No one needs a religion to be a good person. However most religions for the most part just say "To be a good person" . People seem to confuse morals with religion. Simply having morals does not make you religious. Religion is basically a code of ethics which in fact all people have.
IIN I get annoyed when atheist try to push atheism on other people?
