Does worship make you a better person?

Today LSU had our first worship of the year. Pastor Sam is a very well respected pastor at our school however he said something today in worship that really made me think. He said that by going to worship "you will be a better student, a better boy friend or girl friend, a better person." As soon as he said that i was a little upset. Coming from a non-religious background i got some what offended. I never went to church or "worship," it was not a significant part of my life. Am i a bad person because i do not worship. He felt so confident about it because he really truly believes that worshipping makes you better. I live a different lifestyle and worship has never been a part of my life and i really do not believe that it has made me a better person or a better student. I dont think by going to chapel that ive become a bad person but i really dont think its fair to say that by worshipping God you are better.
