I could not agree with you more...... for having a relationship with God is not about the four walls in a church but rather about the condition of your inner soul and spirit.... that which communicates with and through our higher state of being - that which we all came from.

I personally have learned not to argue with another over religion - religious matters (the differences) all Faiths have, for none of us are sure that we are doing all things 100% right per God..... for while the Bible was indeed ordained by God - it was pieced together (what would go in to it and what would be left out) by man-kind.

I do believe in a heaven and a hell - and while many religions believe differently on the facts of when we go there - I personally do not wish or desire to argue the difference with any one, for all that matters is that I GET THERE!! - that WE all get there.

I have seen good strong Christian Women pass on later in life and they have gone with a Peace about them that left a Smile on there face as they took their last breath..... and I have seen an elderly man pass with fear with in him and the screams of how hot it was and that he did not want to go there.
.... Only GOD really knows.

I personally will NEVER judge another based on their religion or religious beliefs no matter how different it is from my Christian Faith (and God would not want me to) - and in all reality most are not that much different, or at least not the parts that truly matter...... for we are all children of GOD, and He will give every one of us the opportunity to accept or deny Him before we die - no matter what Faith we follow..... therefore what is important is that we follow and not so much how, for if we follow the how will come to us and we will not have to look for it.
