Heaven is described as being populated by perfected people, not by their own doing.. The world we live in is populated by selfish people primarily. Hell even toddlers are selfish. It's a redefinition of human nature. Whether or not it's a fantasy, it would actually make it work flawlessly.

Cooperation and sharing are just as much "human nature" as selfishness. We contain lots of "natural" impulses, but people will prioritize and grow into those impulses which society most rewards.

Can we just have tiny villages where we tell ghost stories and just all contribute to each other's well being?

There's a very easy answer that most Christian conservatives will quickly provide - God makes all things possible. Whether in its most primitive, logic-defying form, or in the more thought-out "Humans are imperfect and thus cannot run a perfect system, unlike God", few Christians will actually be caught on the surface-level contradiction.

Religion is like a shoe. Yours won't fit me and mine won't fit you. So let's just let each other walk.our own ways without trying to push us along our paths

Religion is a tool to manipulate people according own will based on stories that happened similar in real world. Similar, meaning, the religion master picked stories that helped them explain why people have to behave like he says and maybe added som flavour here and there.

Please, people, can we just stop falling for it?
