Seems to me that organized religion is run by people living in glass houses throwing stones at everyone they see. Religion is absolutely an attempt to control people's behavior. It's not enough that you go to prison for stealing and killing. Now there's a penalty after death too. It seems even in death we are not safe, which is a very, very depressing thought. So much for a way out from your problems. I think anyone who does their time on this mudball deserves to be left the hell alone once they die. I'm just gonna assume they're all full of s**t unless god himself tells me otherwise.
This is definitely a case of: "Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?". We've got religions all over the damn place worshipping dozens of different gods and playing by different rules. Which is the real one? Seems god has no comment. Judging by the bible, god didn't used to be this indifferent. He doesn't seem to care anymore what anyone does, and if he doesn't care then why should I? Multiple religions claiming to be the one true path away from damnation and no one here to sort it out. Roll the dice, take your chances.
The bottom line is people believe what they want to, and in a situation like that, logic goes out the window. Proof is not a requirement. I have less chance of pulling someone away from a religion they choose to follow than they have of converting me. It's a waste of time, energy, and oxygen.
