Religion has convinced people that there's an invisible man… living in the sky. Who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn't want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer, and burn, and scream, until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you. He loves you and he needs money.

Good Ol' George somewhat mischievously conflating God with his Sales Guys on Earth. And you know what Sales Guys are like...
However, one must remember George's dictum that while you may discuss pricking your finger, you may not discuss fingering...
Is this the same religion that has tried to convince people it's the only real one?
I must say that if so, it's also the religion that has some really meaty stories and a great deal of wisdom in it's official guide.
Having said that, the big guy in this biblical tome does come across as an egotistical know-it-all douche bag. If you don't follow me ...eternal damnation ... fiery chariots ...great balls of fire, yada yada - who the hell does he think he is, God?
Someone bless you, George Carlin...
