Why does God consider a person unrighteous even if they are not living a bad lifestyle?

Les explains that a person is not unrighteous merely because of bad behavior or lifestyle. The problem traces back to Adam. When someone says, "I'm not that bad; I've never really sinned; I've never done anything immoral; I've never stolen," the answer is to go back to Genesis and show that it all began with Adam. Les makes the point that we are not sinners because we broke God's law; rather, we broke His law because we are sinners, and that began with Adam. In Adam every human being became a sinner. So people are unrighteous and ungodly not because of what they are doing or their lifestyle, but because God has decreed every child of Adam as being a sinner. There may be good sinners, wet sinners, or dry sinners, but all are sinners until they recognize it and are saved by believing the gospel. Paul writes to believers, reminding them that while they were yet sinners God commended His love toward them; they too were sons and daughters of Adam.
