That isn’t true.

Almost no religions by count have any heaven-hell adjudicated by belief (rather than worth). Few even have heaven-hell.

And even counting the rare few religions that are the most popular now solely due to relatively recent imperialism in human history (occupation, compulsion, lock-in, and warfare), i.e. Christianity and Islam, roughly a third of their adherents don’t believe in these ideas, and those are just antiquated sects of Judaism, most of whose adherents have actually abandoned these ideas.

Russel invented the Celestial Teapot by his own admission so it seems less probable than God.

The key to Pascal’s Wager is to wager by probability.

The probability that theists go to Heaven and atheists do not seems higher than the reverse, IMO.

Most religions have theists going to Heaven and atheists going to Hell.

Does that influence your view that atheists go to Heaven?

Thanks!

Which you have no sufficient reason to believe exists, or indeed, that anyone but atheists will get to go there if it does.

Hence read the links I have directed you to. It explains. You are ignoring them. And you need to ask yourself why you keep ignoring demonstrations you are wrong and instead just reasserting the statements that have been refuted.

And I have some land in Florida to sell you.

And the Ayatollah has some eternal virgins to sell you.

And your local Scientology Office has some levels above “clear” to sell you.

Etc.

Falling for the promises of hucksters is a failure mode.

Read the Outsider Test for Faith for the correct perspective.

I think what the wager does is show the stakes involved in our choice…eternal life.

Jesus said in the Gospels to “build up your treasures in Heaven” and the Gospels are full of passages describing rewards for good deeds so I think becoming Christian for the rewards is Biblical. 🙂

“Depends on all the things they did in their lives. At most we can say they wasted some of their life, and possibly some of the life of millions of others. But what they did with the remaining hours of their lives can’t be determined from merely that.”

Excellent. Thanks.
