Don't confuse church with faith.
The church forbade priests to marry in the 5th century A.D. so that the potential sons and daughters of priests wouldn't inherit church property.
The church is about the consolidation of money to exert social power.
Faith on the other hand can do great things for individuals who need it (myself included).
And by the way, it doesn't say anywhere in the bible that everyone will go to heaven. The New Testament describes the cover charge. If anyone in your church says that everyone will go to heaven, they are not preaching scripture.
You can shed your submission to church without giving up on faith.
