Most people come to religion through indoctrination, then stay because of fear. That's hardly noble.
I met alot of people who practice religion not so much out of fear but because they believe they are becoming more caring because of it and less egotistical. And because of such perfect improvement they believe that there is a God.
Good people are good because they are good, nkt because of religion. You have to have that spark inside you from the start.
On the other hand it has been said that religion is one of the few things in this world that can make good people do bad things (and if you think about it it is obvious why).
