Why do we have to do anything at all?
One thing all religions have in common is that you can't simply exist--you have to DO something. You have to follow the Eightfold Path, or you have to acknowledge that there is but one god Allah and you have to do his will, or you have to accept Jesus Christ as lord and savior, and so on.
Why not just have a religion where you don't do anything at all? A religion that teaches that God has everything under control and that the universe isn't going to fall apart if you don't get out and start some holy crusade? Is it because a passive, do-nothing religion wouldn't need a paid clergy?

Feel free to create any religion you would like.

This is the contrast between false religions and salvation freely available by grace through Christ Jesus. You cannot pay for a gift. You can only offer your gratitude.
