It's all about admitting we can never "Arrive". When the bridge of confession is crossed, we find ourselves accepting those who have different views without sending them to Hell.
God has many good things for us, but Religion is not one of them. Religion isolates and destroys, leaving people without the most important thing they will need when they die; Love and mercy.

I'm glad that you are able to see it that way. What you said about Religion "isolating and destroying, leaving people wihtout the most important thing they will need when they die" ... that is what causes people to feel frustrated. Plus most religions claim to be right, so then at that point, many say "forget it!"
Especially if said people have been raised in a very staunch, work-based salvation environment, and they finally reach the point where they see what a waste of time and energy and life it has caused...it leaves a person feeling very burnt out, and wondering: "What WAS the point anyways? Was I really spending all that time pleasing people when I thought I was pleasing God?"
