About this Quote

He is suggesting that a person does not require to adhere to a particular set of beliefs in order to be a good person. Rather, he thinks that being a good individual refers personal choice and responsibility. He is promoting for a more individualistic approach to morality, one that is based on personal values and principles rather than on a set of guidelines or teachings. This quote also talks to the concept of individual autonomy and flexibility of idea, as it indicates that one should be able to make their own decisions about what is best and wrong without being bound by the expectations of a specific religion or belief system.
