Do you believe in God and follow the rules of your respective religion because of faith and love for the Almighty Creator or because of fear of being punished and going to Hell? For me it is faith because I don't believe in Hell. What is it for you?

Fear is the absense of faith.
I believe that with a connection to a higher power, no matter what you call that power, fear subsides dramatically. With faith I know I am taken care of. I personally do not believe in hell. If I did living with a connection to the great spirit allows me to know I am loved and taken care of. I live with love and faith in my higher power, not fear.
Just my opinion

I believe in God because of faith. I have faith that he loves me enough that he sent his son so that I could be forgiven of anything that I've done. I "follow the rules" because I love God and he takes care of me.

I don't believe in God (or any religion for that matter) and despite all of other religion's threats (for that is all they really are) I still hold true to my beliefs. And so I say faith, not fear.

I believe in God because things happened to me that have no earthly explanation I knew it was Him. I have no fear of going to Hell, I realize now that I would have ended up there because I didn't believe.

I believe and i love God more than myself because without him i wouldn't be here. It is Gods decision where i must go, to hell or paradise, what i deserve, for me is faith as you.

I obey God and follow Jesus because that is the smartest thing to do.

I am atheist. I don't believe in deities, and perfectly enjoy my life.
