anyway, I'm a deist: I believe in a god, but not the God of the bible. There are a lot of issues with your reasoning

-There are thousands of religions and no way of knowing that one is more correct than the other since all run on faith-based logic and not empirical evidence.

-The belief-set on the afterlife is inconsistent. Some religious figures have stated that good people in general are accepted into heaven. If hell isn-t the case for non-believers, then Pascal's Wager can be reversed: "Why believe in God?" etc.

-People should care about Religion since it's used to manipulate society's laws to the extent where it sometimes leads laws that authoritarian in nature to be passed. This is related to a belief in God: If your religion tells you to chastise Atheists and has a set of morals or codes in its scriptures that allow people to be discriminated against, then that has a negative effect on society because it goes against the values that treat humans as equal.
