From your tagline, "a life of religion is to do good", a gather you do not grasp the significance of Christ other than being a nice fellow and do-gooder.

From doctrines within Scripture, be aware that those who perform human good independent of His will, and there are many, simply perform work that is good for nothingness in the perspective of Divine Holiness. Religion in this Church Age is generally a human attempt to perform good, that is parlayed into evil by the Adversary to form a counterfeit Millenial kingdom.

Through faith in Christ, one has no need to be either religious or a do-gooder for perfect righteousness, but on the contrary many a believer who seeks to do good on his own and obey religion instead of their direct priesthood with the Father through faith in Christ, merely counterfeit His plan for the Church and deceive themselves into worthless sins of the flesh, worldiness, and adversarial spiritual wickedness.

The Lord wishes good for all and draws all to Him in heaven. It is man's desire only that rejects Divine love and turns away from it. The Lord's love correspond to the natural laws of gravity.

From doctrines within Scripture...

What scripture gave rise to this insane theory?

Through faith in Christ, one has no need to be either religious or a do-gooder

Sorry, faith alone without charity to the neighbor will condem you to hell.
