I completely agree, hence the distinction between a "good citizen" and a "good person". A good citizen would help out the community for either self-serving or altruistic reasons.
A good person would only do it for altruistic reasons. Perhaps it is possible to be both.
It's just your second paragraph sounded like you were saying that a person only does it because of their religion, not because they agree with it. Which I disagree with.
I think that everything a person does is selfish to some extent, the only reason I volunteer is because it makes me happy. Which is selfish.
