Understanding Religious Directives Which Is Not Based On Fear Of Hell
I do not see any problem in your approach. It is not a requirement of religion to do good deeds out of fear of Hell. Infact, Quran tells us that the ability to distinguish good and bad has had been ingrained in our nature and we should follow that nature. Every directive of religion has a reason behind it linking it to the main objective of religion and there is nothing wrong in understanding that reason to better understand that directive.
