But you can be spiritual without being religious. It's called Buddhism
I'm only half-joking, though. Religions like Buddhism can instill a moral code that don't carry the threat of divine retribution. For them, life is a wheel of learning leading to Nirvana, instead of two ultimate and totally divergent paths. You eventually reach the top of the ladder, no matter what.
On the other hand, you could argue that many lives spent on Earth could outdo a single sentence in Hell.
I'll have to ponder that one
