For me it boils down to my moderate religious grandmother thinking I'm not going to get into heaven. Even though she knows I'm a good person. She believes you can't get into heaven just by being good (It would make christianity and the bible completely obsolete otherwise), so she thinks atheism causes good people to go to hell.
