Religion stems from man's need to remain connected with his Creator. It is the practice of the beliefs that the Creator put in place in order that man may remain connected to Him. The only law that my Creator has given is that I love Him in the same way He has loved me and that I love those around me in the same manner. It's a "choice of heart", yes. There is no predestination since I am free to choose whether I stay connected to my Creator or not.
