The real deal is known as the "body of Christ" and you get in by simple faith in the gospel of grace. It only took me 25 years to find this out. If you are trying to earn your way to heaven you will fail. We can only believe in what Christ already did on that cross, shed His blood and paid for our sins...........

May your search for the truth be a profitable one........seek Him and HE will find you!

G-d says that no one may die for another’s sins...

Right. No man may die for another's sins. That's why Jesus had to be God.

No. The absence of belief in a god is not a religion.

There are 3 possible positions regarding morality:

1) Theist position: There exists a magical being called "god" that is the source of all morality and law.
2) Atheist position: There is no "god" therefore there is no morality or law and one is free to do anything one wants.
3) Morality and law are emergent properties that emerge whenever you have large numbers of people interacting with one another.

Both atheists and theists believe that god is the only possible source of morality. The only difference is whether they believe such a being exists or not

All religions are mostly BS.

So what do we do?
Do we reject all religion and become atheist.
No. Atheism is mostly BS too.

There simply is no winning move here.

Let me rephrase that: Noahidism is probably the closest thing to arational religion on Earth at this time but even that is mostly just BS.

Frankly a perfectly rational religion wouldnt even be a religion in my opinion

Are you saying that raping young virgin girls, murdering the whole population bar eight, slaughtering innocent women and children (but sparing the virgin girls to be raped later) is moral? Oh yes, let's not forget the Egyptian firstborns.

And it's always the other person's fault.
