What Grim said. Basically those who think they're doing the best/right thing may just be the very people who have committed the worst mistake. i.e., the catholic chuch.
The same goes for every other religion out there. I personally think that being a member of a certain religion isn't enough to save you. You can't just be a "christian" and do shit at the same time, you're being the biggest hypocrite of the religion you 'think' you're part of.
On to the possibility that the world is ending, I vaguely remember a passage in Revelations that said something about 144,000 people at the mount of Zion. If that were true, the ratio of 144,000:billions of religious people, both dead and alive, could be a representation of just how few people actually are doing the right thing.
I get how organized religion can help spread the 'good news', but if it's coming from the mouth of these people, it's hardly doing any good at all.
