Quantum physics explains that everything in the Universe is made of energy vibrating at a certain frequency, and that includes your thoughts.
Thoughts are also made of energy; they can be measured, and they each have a particular frequency.
Your thoughts attract back to them people, circumstances, and events that are on the same frequency.
Like attracts like, and through the law of attraction the things you think about the most are what come into your life.
In other words, you create your life through your thoughts.
Everything that comes into your life you have attracted into your life through the thoughts you’ve been thinking.
Like all the laws of nature, the law of attraction is immutable; no one is above it or excluded from it.
It is impersonal, and operates on all of us equally—on every subject, and on every single thought.

ਸਚਾ ਸਬਦੁ ਬੀਚਾਰਿ ਕਾਲੁ ਵਿਧਉਸਿਆ ॥
Sachaa Sabadh Beechaar Kaal Vidhhousiaa ||
By meditating on the True Word of the Shabad (Nam), death is overcome.
Sree Guru Angad Dev

A1) Why should they not talk?
What is the harm in it?
They should talk about mukti.
If a religion does not talk about mukti, then, that religion is not a religion but more likely a cult. The term religion comes from the latin word "religare", which means that what reunites us with our origin. 
And if you do not want to listen about mukti, then do not listen nor look to their teachings, just keep yourself busy  with other things.
The purpose of a true religion is to bring that awareness in us, that, we are in alien land, which is inert, temporary, and subject dissolution.
Or do you think you are going to live here for ever?
Because such a couple of questions like yours above, makes one think in that direction
If you think so, then sorry to say that, maybe you are voluntarily choosing to indefinetely extend your stay more in the wheel of the otherwise unendable cycle of births and deaths.
The Bani clearly tells us:  KIS NAAL KEEJAY DOSTEE SABH JAG CHALANHAAR.
Prophets, Bhagats, Incarnations, Guru Sahiban, all highly spiritual beings, whenever they came here on earth, had to go back also and respect the laws of Nature without any manipulations. 
Ravan, and other devlish beings throughout the history, they tried to manipulate Nature and secure eternal life on this inert, false,  and temporary creation. 
What was the result in all those cases? All of them were fierecely blown to death by Nature.
 
A2) No, they are not antilife.
Because they do not induce anybody to not live their lives with dignity, nor do they tell anybody to suicide, rather they are (if only true religion) the cause of our freedom from falsehood (koor maya), and thus life givers of eternity, because they teach us to take the Amrit of Nam within us, in order to become one with our origin, namely Waheguru Akal Purukh who is the Only eternal Truth, and the fountain of bliss and true happiness.
 
I will not talk of other religions, about what they have to offer or not to the soul ...
But I will only talk from the perspective of Sikhee, which I find the most rational, and universal teachings.
Not limited to any  particular land, country, continent, race or gender... rather it is a universal and a practical path of utmost love and devotion for our creator Waheguru Akal Purukh.
Please, do go a bit through the Bani, in any Ang, where only what you will find is that, Guru Sahiban tell us, that, do not remain in the false illusion, created by your limited mind, which is the cause of all your pain and anguish, rather come out of that realm of falsehood which is subject to decay and dissolution, and by strongly holding on Naam alone, step into the realm of Truth and eternity, which is Sach Khand, the realm of SAT NAM, AKAL PURUKH.
God bless you.

Some common mistakes we make viewing the world as good people, we are a real minority regardless of background. 
This is the good place. 
This is the good time.
We are united by some common goodness with others. 
All people are on a spiritual path. 
You can trust most people to be relatively good. 
What is dealt in by the world is the Appearance of said things, the illusion, and on the individual level most people are presenting an image of relative worldly goodness, but each one thinks they're the clever liar, the snekay cheat, the bully that wins. The one with secrets. And so they present a fake morality, that they suggest the world adhere to so it functions well enough to continue to be victimized. 
But make no mistake narrow is the path. That's Gurbani and Torah both. 


Matthew 7:13-14
King James Version
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
 
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

The inevitable Paath is an option it's just many billions of years of lifetimes. At some point you may find yourself wanting to get off the carousel sooner than later and see the real world. 
This human jeev in Kalyug is perfect for that. Almost nobody uses this timeplace for that. Most of the souls here are interfacing in a different way.... And it has to do with them going deeper into the physical. It takes a lot of swamp to create the opportunity of the Lotus.

*Here in this verse above, Guru Jee is beautifully  revealing us in clear, simple, and short words, the secret of our union with Him in this vey life by His grace.
Dhan Dhan Guru Nanak.

A1) It is utmost important to have a Guru, for  True Guru is not the body,  but the Jot of Waheguru Himself, and this Guru is known as Shabad Guru. 
When you close your eyes, do you not see darkness? Then in such darkness how can one even move an inch forward within?
There is where the Guru is needed, for with His akhoot Jot, He gives the Light and brings clarity to the soul, in its all way back till the soul reaches in the lap of our heavenly Father  Akal Purukh.
A2) The question does not arise of following or not a religion, the question is about following that what is correct and acceptable in His eyes, not manmat of people. 
Again, it is here that the valuable role of a true Guru is seen, for it is only the Guru as seen in Gurbani who reconects us with our origin Waheguru Akal Purukh, through Nam.
 
And the proof of what I am saying is seen the following 2 verses 
 
ਗੁਰਮਤੀ ਆਪੁ ਗਵਾਇ ਸਚੁ ਪਛਾਣਿਆ ॥
Guramathee Aap Gavaae Sach Pashhaaniaa ||
Through the Guru's Teachings, selfishness and conceit are eradicated, and the Truth is realized.
 
ਸਚਾ ਸਬਦੁ ਵੀਚਾਰਿ ਸਚਿ ਸਮਾਣਿਆ ॥
Sachaa Sabadh Veechaar Sach Samaaniaa ||
Meditating deeply on the True Word of the Shabad, I have merged into the Truth.
 
By the way Vah Jee, can you tell me where and in which other dharmas, Guru Jee, and Nam Bhakti is advised, in order to cut our bonds from this mayavee creation and merge in Him for once and ever.
That is why  Guru and Guru bhakti(Gurmat) is required for any soul who really wants to go back to Him.
One may do bhakti all the 24/7, but as per Bani, if one has not meditated on Nam, one has done nothing, and shall go empty handed from this world, for Nam is the only eternal Truth.
The beauty of Gurmat is that, it reveals us the highest spiritual truths, in simple and practical ways for any ordinary being, for the sole purpose of achieveing the Highest soul consciousness abode, named Sach Khand.

Totally agree.
The prefix syllable Ik, in both the terms refers to the only One, and the only One, true Lord God Creator is Waheguru Akal Purukh.
 
Following is an clarifying and inspiring article by Sukhmandir Kaur, which I found on the net and would like to share with the Sangat.

Ik Onkar is a symbol which appears at the beginning the Sikh scripture and means, "One With Everything". The symbol is written in the Gurmukhi script and has several components. Some references are also spelled out in scripture as to Ek Ankar.
  Ik (or Ek) stands for the Gurmukhi numeral "One". On is a combination or O and An stands for "Everything". Kar is inferred and stands for "Creator". The symbol Ik Onkar communicates the idea of one one creative being, or one God, manifest in all of existence. The creator and creation are one entity, inseparable in the way an ocean is made up of its individual drops, or a tree is composed of its individual components, roots, trunk, bark, branches, leaves, sap and seeds, (cones, fruits, or nuts).   Pronunciation: Ik (i as in lick) (alternately Ek, or aek sounding like the a in lake) O un kaar (aa sounds like the a in car)
Alternate Spellings: Ik Oankar, Ik Oankaar, Ek Onkar, Ek Ankar   Examples "Sabh meh jaano karataa ek ||In all do I recognize that the One Creator is present." SGGS||377 "Safal janam hoaa mil saadhoo ekankaar dhiaaae raam ||Fruitful becomes the life upon meeting with the Saints, and contemplating the One Creator Lord." SGGS||782 "Tiseh bhoojh jin too keeaa prabh karann kaaran ek||1|| rahaao||Realize thou that He who created thee is the One God whom is the cause of all causes." Pause. SGGS||1007 "Eko karataa avar na koe ||There is only One, the Creator, there is no other at all." SGGS||1174 "Khaalik khalak khalak meh khaalik poor rehiou srab taanee ||1|| rehaao||
The Creation is in the Creator, and the Creator is in the Creation, totally pervading and permeating all places. ||1||Pause|| SGGS||1349
