Religion was corrupted into a political power play by brainwashing in order to control their behavior. Religion preaches fear, threats, and assumptions for the purpose of CONTROL, and tax free revenue.
The Bible itself has been changed throughout the centuries to what they feel the truth to be. For centuries that was the control they had over the people. By saying, "if you don't do what we say is there, then you will burn in hell". Hell was a political device to help build the power of the orthodox church, and to overcome the influence of the gnostics (that taught reincarnation). By making people fear hell so intensely, the church succeeds in creating the fear monger. The devil is just for EXCUSES; people that don't take responsibility for their actions would prefer to blame someone else.
The only people that know for sure where we go when we die are dead people. They don't talk to all of us. We should focus on living, not preparing for death (religion).
