Being religious does not make you a good person, although; What moral compass do you follow, if not religion? Who truly decides what is right and wrong?

I won't name the religion, but for some reason, the behavior above Is quite common for those who follow It.

for me its better to be a good person. religion would only limit you from your full potential

Being religious doesn't make you a good person. On the contrary, religions make otherwise good people act in horrific ways.
Just striving to be as good a person as possible without religion places no such limitations on you.
