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.

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.

I reckon they *are* overwhelmed with fear and anxiety all the time - that's very much a part of the problem.

I don't think they are. They seem to find religion comforting & God on their side.

Perhaps I see those who aren't happy with their religion and are longing for their particular version of the afterlife?
