When one follows the tenets of his religion, just because of the rewards or punishments that his "God[s]" will meter out in the afterlife, he is like someone that only follows the law because he fears the police.
That is, he is not a pious man, but just a rascal playing the odds. It may be impossible to discern on the outside, but in his heart he would still be a coward.
One shall do what is right (alas, it is not always easy to understand what is right and what is wrong in any given situation), no matter what.
Then, if the 'God[s]' want to discuss it, they better be reasonable or they may go shoving their laws up their asses.
