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.


I would remind your Grandmother that extremism in religiosity is no vice! And let me remind her also that moderation in the pursuit of religiosity is no virtue!
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
