The secular view of mankind is there are those that are good people.

The religious side of things particularly biblically based, all people are sinners, no good.

Which system do you accept that makes you comfortable and feel good about yourself?

It's ironic because you would expect the people who think we are made in the image of God to have a sugar coated view of how humans are but actually our perfect God supposedly made us to all be filthy pieces of shit.

That's because Earth is Minecraft for God. And trolling is the new meta.

Everything or none.

I am pretty sure there are thousands of billions of good people - those who were never born so never did anything bad.

Now, if you are going after born people who are adults, I am quite certain they are all bad, and I dont see how is that supposed to make me feel comfortable or feel good.

The unborn are not good. The unborn don't exist.

In fact, so far the condition to be evil was to exist.

In the secularist system, we're all good if we're not a Hitler, Bundy and Dahmer.

In the religious sector, we're all in the same boat.

Some may even or have turned on religion because the thought of any one of these individuals going to heaven is sickening. 

Not to mention anyone of their victims going to hell.

You do have to exist because without existing at all , the reality of good doesn't exist either.

This is a common error you go into . You often take the stance because a lack of one thing exists, therefore it automatically means the other. 

It's not as thin as you make it. Just because I was found not guilty or a lack thereof to place a guilty charge doesn't automatically make me innocent.

Thats not true.

If religious people thought everyone was equally bad, entire population would be in prison or no one would be in prison.

Thats not true.

You can be not existing and still be good.

In fact, not existing is usually a condition to be good.

Well first I'm speaking in biblical terms. According to the bible, we're all sinners. Not just folks who went or go to prison.

Second, people who are not in prison haven't broken man's law but have broken those of the religious sector.

Gotta wrap your head around this.

Secularisms is the separation of organised religion and state. 

Instead of secularism it should be humanism. Though neither are necessarily dichotomies to religion. Also it can’t hurt to be more specific about the religion(s) you’re referring to.

Right your definition is very broad. Run into problems with that.

You said organised religion which I take as organized religion. 

So there's no such thing as a separation of religion and state which I agree with. No such thing as separation of church (religion) and state.

But you said organized religion so whatever that is , fine.

It's quite obvious that people will resonate with what they consider is the true law. The secular man to the law (the constitution) and the believers to the commandments.
