Really?
I should be afraid of the guilt/punishment mechanism of organized religion? Why?
Let me ask you this:
"If a man/woman leads a life of charity and helping others, loves his/her wife/husband, raises his/her children in that same spirit but is agnostic/atheist, is he/she more or less likely to go to heaven than the man/woman who attends church every week and confesses their many weekly sins, including adultery and deceit?"
The answer that most often comes back is that the latter person isn't a Christian to begin with. . . . . but there seems to be no answer as to why God would deny the former entry to the Pearly Gates, other than those people hadn't fallen to their knees at some point.
I think I'll start a religion that allows for God unleashing the forces of Evolution. I'd clean up in real life since so many would be looking for an "out" of the logic box and I'd go to heaven to boot.
