That is my main problem with most religions; that they are effectively scaring and bullying you into following their ideals. You can draw paralells with dictatorial regimes: rewarding their followers for their faith whilst condeming those who disobey them.

I'm pretty sure if you follow the Golden Rule it wouldn't if you didn't follow the "right" god. You are a nice person who treats others they want to be treated. That's what Religion is almost centred around.

The thing is, that is your own assumption about the way it works, and a good number of religious zealots wouldn't agree with you.
