I often find that I come from a different direction than most of the atheists I speak to coz religion was not comforting or reassuring 4 me.

I've always struggled to understand how ppl can believe in God & heaven & hell & yet not be overwhelmed with fear & anxiety all the time.
-
If what you believe is true, some ppl you currently love will suffer horrendous & eternal torture. Why aren't you freaking out?
-
But I've realised that most ppl simply aren't that literal & don't think things thru to logical conclusion re: religion. Its fuzzy & benign.

The most common attitude seems to be to believe in a benign figure who shares your values and will see you OK.

I just read that only 2% of ppl who believe in Hell think they themselves might go there.
