That's the pay off. How many people would embrace christianity without the concept of Heaven?
Certainly not as many, but I don't think it's fair to necessarily to reduce it to that as the "essence" of why people decide to follow a certain belief system.

I find it sad that some people need religion to find fulfillment in life.
People do all sorts of sad shit to try and make themselves happy. I don't think religion would come close to topping my list of what I would consider to be the saddest.
Yeah I guess there are sadder things but I still find needing relegion sad. Sorry. The amount of wasted time, guilt and dictation of beliefs and "morality" is mind boggling.
edit - What do you think the essence is?
