Would you trust, the Atheist who loves his family, his country, donates to charity, is always honest, does not cheat on his wife, is hardworking and never has a bad thing to say about anybody?
Or, would you trust the person who always goes to his house of worship, prays all the time, always professes his love and faith in God but cheats on his wife, is proud and boastful, lies to his friends and has no integrity in his work and in his financial dealings?
We all make mistakes and we all sin. (Sin is the Greek word pertaining to archery which means "to miss the mark", ie. to miss the bulls eye.)
My point is that Piety does not equate goodness and trustworthiness.
We should trust people who do the work of God even if they don't believe in Him/Her and not the person who professes great faith in God but does not walk the talk.
