I didn't say I was an atheist, just an agnostic.

I see many people who use religion as a way to divide people, not bring them together. That is what creates the doubt in my mind. We have fought many wars over the centuries based on religion. Most of the Gods in the main religions have the same origins, with a similar message delivered through a different prophet. So then we fight wars, saying God is on "our" side. Well, if it is the "same God", how does he choose?

I'm not trying to get into some deep conversation, just pondering need to make things difficult.

Assume a man, born in the wilderness, to parents who never knew of religion, and I live a good life, being good to those around me. 1000 miles away there people who have read this book and believe it, and they sin, but then ask for forgiveness. Will the man in the wilderness be doomed to go to hell while the person who has read the book, and not been able to follow it to the letter go to heaven?

Sounds kind of holier than thou to me.
