I think the above is most important that religion should bring a person to right path. Now I have seen hundreds of example around me where the children/people follow religion strictly but do not follow the right path. I give u an example , one of my neighbours are very religious they offer regular prayers , fasts etc but I have literally seen them telling their 4 year old son to beat a cat with bat. Now islam doesn’t teach us zulm on animals. they are following religion but definately not on the right path.
so i believe that being on the right path matters alot!
