Research Religions
quote:
Would it be wise to then, based on this, reject the idea of any formal religion and just focus on being a good, moral person?
Or do I run the risk of simultaneously burning in every single Hell from every single religion on earth?
If you are so inclined, research religions and/or spiritual beliefs and try to understand their origin and purpose. Understand which cultures developed the concept of Hell and why.
Then decide for yourself if you need a religion to make you do what is right and if you feel there is a hell to worry about.
Personally, I don't feel there is a Hell, so I'm not too worried about it.

There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. -Edith Wharton
