The light is in the darkness also, it is filled with the wave, with our eye we only see the particle, it is the wave that connects all things. The particle gives the illusion of seperation due to our blindness of the wave where everything would be indistinguishable. Both are the same thing and work in harmony to create the trick of the light that is darkness.

Well that sounds a lot like god has coerced you into believing through the doctrine of hell. You're so afraid of the possibility of going there that you believe whatever the one that taught you about hell says, without question.
Don't be good for the sake of being good, be good because you will get a reward in the end, right? Better to get the reward than be punished for eternity, even if that reward isn't real and neither is hell.

The religious institutions of this world, and the books that come with them, are lying to you. They have made you believe that God is a being that exists outside of our experience and universe. They have done this by writing books, tons and tons of books, all who claim to have "truth" in them and ONLY them.
What they have done by writing these books and declaring each the divine truth is divide us. Divide and conquer, these religions may all claim to oppose each other but in reality they are all the same people playing the same game with us.

The light is beautiful, it is perfect, and it is YOU. We have God within us.
Start looking within yourself. When you find yourself, the woes of this world and its dogmas (hell) will no longer terrify you because you will know that you are an eternal Spirit having a temporary human experience. Your body may pass away but your Spirit, the light, will never pass away. You are the light and light is both particle (body) and wave (Spirit).
Thanks for reading.

To discount religion out of hand is somewhat shallow as the teachings are solid for the most part they just tend to flesh out the wisdom with a lot of hogwash and storytelling. selectively taking the good and dumping the excrement from all the religions will give you the insight and philosophy you need without the burden of dogmatic trivialities and drivel.
That's my take on religion in one very short and insignificant paragraph. Make of it what you will.
