It seems like you assume that religious practicing increases your chances of entering heaven. That is what doesn't make sense to me, not wheather practicing brings joy or not.



No, I don't assume that. In fact, in my second sentence, I assume that the opposite is true for argument's sake. I said that assuming religious practicing doesn't increase your chances of getting to heaven, it still makes sense because people enjoy doing it. And since you're not challenging whether that makes sense, I'll assume you don't believe it doesn't make sense. In such case, you're problem is with (some) people's perception of religious practice, not religious practice in and of itself.

Well, religious practice in itself demands people in order to occur. My "problem" is that they think that following exactly what the Bible says would be necessary to enter heaven when it in actuality only may be good or evil actions that matters.

In other words: Burning the Bible would be a good thing. People don't need it to commit good actions, but they can use it to justify certain harmful activities. And the Bible is the foundation of all Abrahamic religious practicing (well, and the Koran for the Muslims).
