Life Without Religion

Just thinking about this topic gives me the chills. A world without religion. We discussed this in class on monday and the more I thought about it, the more I had to say. I can't even begin to think of a life without religion, partly because I have been a Christian most of my life, and partly because there would be nothing to live for. There would be no hope, no reason to do good. Without religion, I feel the world would be a scary place. If you think about it, people do good because it will ensure them a passage into Heaven. Well, I think there are two things wrong with that. One, is that this means people don't do good unless they are entitled to something in return.There is no natural want in humans to do something without the expectation of a reward for their good deeds. The other thing that's wrong this is that you need Jesus to get into Heaven. This Bible verse explains this:
"I am the way the truth and the life;
NO MAN cometh unto the Father BUT BY ME."
-- Jesus Christ (John 14:6)
Sadly 63% of teens believe that if a person is good then they will go to heaven. Well, that is a good in all but the most important person is left out of the equation! Now, I don't know everything, but I just think a life without religion would be horrible. There would be no reason to do good, and life would cease to exsist as we know it. That's just some food for thought!
