Religion is what a person follows, be it Christian, Islam, Catholic, self-willed, etc. God according to the Holy Bible is the creator of everything including man. The way to heaven is laid down in the New Testament. To get there, follow the doctrines of the Christian religion laid down in the New Testament. Heaven is where God is and people who obeyed Him during their lifetime will go to heaven on the last day to live with God forever. Hell is the worst because it is a lake of fire burning with sulfur and the people who disobeyed God during their lifetime will be thrown there and they will suffer everlasting punishment together with Satan. Everlasting - that is endless.

Religion is a way of life, it doesn't necessarily entail a belief in one super natural being. For me, God is the omnipotent, the very source of all that ever existed. Heaven is a state of mind that could be synonymous with serenity. You achieve it through finding fulfillment with your life. Hell to me is another state of mind and it's bad because it entails the negative feelings like hate, envy, and jealousy among other things.

Religion is a fellowship. A group of people gathered in the name of God. God is the center of the fellowship. The way to heaven is through Jesus Christ. As says in the bible, nobody enters the Kingdom of Heaven, but through me. Hell is a place where God will put those who disobeyed Him for eternal damnation.

In simple terms religion is "a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe." It does not have to concern a God or Gods. For me, God is The Source - Infinite Intelligence, not someone made in mans image, not a "someone" at all. Heaven or hell do not exist in my religion, nor does sin or worship. I am a Spiritualist - NSAC Spiritualism.

Religion is a bureau some special people who have similar thinking and to dominate on others. God is a head of the religious bureau. heaven is the place where god is sitting/ lying. hell is the place where followers are living. You do not have the right to meet the god.
