Lets not forget that many religions are based on human-brotherhood and common decency. I am not going to list them all, but you know its true. Christianity and Islam teach about heaven, but many other religious views don't, just Nervana and enlightenment through selflessness. So with or without the promise of blissful eternal freedom, many millions of people are convinced to do the right thing without heaven or hell hanging in the balance.
Since you are relating this to the teachings of Jesus, which at times are contrary to what the churches DO, please understand that Jesus was against the establishment for the most part. The establishment is necessary for people because we crave communion, but if you are relating the peaceful teachings of Jesus to what the churches do today, I agree, there is a divide. But, you can't roll everyone into one ball and generalize everything. It's like saying all of Islam are crazy suicidal people. In fact many people from different faiths have issues with the higher tiers of their systems. Its called abuse of power, and even Bungie isn't free from that. :(
