I'm a Deist. God made the universe through evolution and the big bang and all that wonderful stuff, then left us on this earth. The only real way you can go to hell is if you take pleasure in hurting your fellow man. None of us are perfect, and bad stuff happens so we know the difference between right and wrong, and it's a test to see what we'll do when bad shit happens, to see if we resort to evil to make us feel better, or if we'll better ourselves by not succumbing to our own nature. I don't take the bible literally in the least bit, but it's a great metaphor.
All religions (yes, all of them) have good and bad teachings, to simply dismiss them for being religious is ignorant.
