    Which is pretty warped if you think about it - shouldn’t the whole point of religion be to learn how to live well?

    Surely not the whole point, since you don’t need religion to do that. This is a question that philosophy has been tackling for thousands of years.

    One big problem that I see is people neglecting the good life on earth for their anticipated good life in heaven. Why bother trying to live well on earth when you’re only going to be here for a short time, and you’ll have an eternity of living well in heaven?
