It doesn't really truly matter what anyone believes in as long as it's positive. If your helping or doing good things for others or the world believe in your ability to effect the world around you positively.
This does not mean negative things will not happen I guarantee bad or negative things are bound to happen. I don't know if karma exists but I do know anyone can effect the life of someone next to them in a positive way.
Not being selfish will help you and those around you. I feel that with technology we are all becoming more secluded and selfish. I mean millions of people take pictures of themselves everyday CALLED SELFIES!
Everytime someone is selfish it is a chance they could have helped someone in a positive way but didn't. Whether or not we're judged by some invisible god in the sky is not the issue but how do you want to be remembered.
Do you or I want to be remembered as someone who was selfish or negative or mad at the world for believing in a lie that we believe to be organized religion or as someone who effects our world or those around us in a positive way or light.
Being positive and helping even a little bit will make your life and other lives better.
BELIEVE IN BEING POSITIVE!
BELIEVE IN YOUR POSITIVE EFFECT IN EVEN ONE PERSONS LIFE INCLUDING YOURS!
IMPROVING YOUR LIFE IN A POSITIVE WAY SO TO HELP OTHERS IS NOT SELFISH!
HAVE A GREAT DAY AND A GREAT LIFE EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE!

I enjoy doing good and being selfish, Why should I help my fellow man out if I was to give to every charity and begger I will need charity then.I only do what is good for my survival nothing else nothing more.No one is going to put a dollar in my hand when I need it.
@Simply agnostic: "I only do what is good for my survival nothing else nothing more.No one is going to put a dollar in my hand when I need it."
Maybe you're being ironic. However, if you really think that way, and if everyone else thinks the same way, then what you say will be true.
Fortunately, despite the corrosive effects of religion and the welfare state, we still retain some of our innate instincts as social animals. We help others, and those others help other people in their turn. When we're not forced to do that, it feels good and it feels right because of what we we are, not because of the eye in the sky or the threat of hell.
