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).



Exactly, it's (some) people's ignorant understanding OF religious practice that you have a problem with. If people knew the true understanding of religious practice, then you wouldn't have a problem with it. And the fact is not everyone practices religion because they think they have to, plenty of people practice religion because they want to, so it does make sense. Just some people don't understand it.


People who actually want to practice this sort of religion do it because they want a comfortable afterlife. If they don't believe in an afterlife then they have the wrong faith.

I will repeat myself: Removing this practice altogether would be the best course of action since it won't affect your afterlife anyway. Just teach people to be good and you will achieve maximum result. Being a good person is not a religious practice.
