Most religions nowadays don't even believe in hell, so whats it matter?

Worshipping God (giving thanks for life) is not a means to an end--it is a reward in itself...it is our true purpose to do this, because when we are thankful in this way we glorify God and exalt nature, and we ourselves are elevated into a sense of who we are.
You don't have to do this in church. Like for instance, if you smoke a joint or eat mushrooms by a river and you are transported by the play of the sunlight on the water into a feeling of unity and completeness, then you have just had a sacramental experience and worshipped God.
