People can be basically good when they take "good" to mean "doing right" and also want to feel that they're a person who "does right". Thus, as was put forth in How To Win Friends and Influence People, even the worst of mass murderers will reward themselves with the feeling that "I'm good" simply by redefining what they do.
Without God there is not only no restriction as to what you can call "good" but there is no control over assigning themselves all the "good" feelings that go with "doing good." Even Al Capone claimed he was good with "All I did was give people a good time."
