I grew up going to church but I’m not religious now and I never really understood this part.

Please, no answers along the lines of “aha, that’s why Christianity is a sham” or “religions aren’t logical”. I don’t want to debate whether it’s right or wrong, I just want to understand the logic and reasoning that Christians use to explain this.

    I’m catholic, and to me it’s because behaving in a good way will simply make you live better;
    the idea is that sin is something that turns you away from God, but being close to God is what makes you truly happy

    So even in this life, behaving in a good way would make you live better and happier
