Yeah, it takes a lot of courage to stand by your principles with those kind of consequences.
I had to fight that fear too in my process of leaving religion. Fortunately, I don't have any evidence that a hell exists (or a heaven, god, angels, demons...), so there are only benefits for me. It is the ones who stay with religion who risk losing their lives, not the ones who leave.
