No, it takes hard work to leave Hell, it's not just a simple decision
It is a hard thing for most people because they create obstacles to their own happiness. However, when all is said and done, it is just a decision no more difficult then any other decision. Attachments make life complicated.

Or you need attachments to motivate you.
The word "Religion", comes from latin religare, "linking, joining again", linking with the Divinity.
Religion can provide the means of salvation, as long as you live with an open and loving heart for God and your fellow human beings. Not as a magical list of practices and steps to be followed blindly, sistematically without knowing their meaning, but as the fruit of Love.
Salvation itself is a gift from God to mankind, that of course needs our acceptance.

The Word "Religion" is not exclusive to the Christian religion. There are a lot more religions out there that do not have divinity or salvation as part of their beliefs.

Eh?
are you talking about purgatory?
Neg. Jehovah's Witness's believe in a Hell and a Heaven, but ordinary people like you and I don't go to either when we die. Rather, we stay dead in the ground until Armageddon comes around. Then we get resurrected and basically live on a perfect healed Earth.
Whhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaattttt?!?!?
Que Pasa Loco!!!
I think the Bible says it or something. Though I know the Watchtower talked about it in a an issue awhile ago.
I also know Cain went there, but I can't remember the others.
Only people from the biblical times I think. Everyone after the death of Jesus Christ doesn't go to hell though, despite there sins.
