This is the second death.No need to quote the catechism to me since I don't consider the catholic church to be any kind of authority.
Revelation 21:8
"Since it rejects or denies the existence of God, atheism is a sin against the virtue of religion."
Catholic catechism
Here's the thing; an atheist is not being punish for a "thought crime" they are facing the consequences of refusing to accept the prescribed remedy for their condition...
You're not special; everyone is in the same boat, you just consciously refuse to accept that God exists, and subsequently refuse repentance... Is it God's fault if you die in your sins?
Is it the doctors fault if you refuse to take your prescribed medicine and die in agony, after you been warned ad nauseam what would happen if you don't take it?
Fine, then the theists in Stalinist Russia were simply facing the consequences of refusing to accept the prescribed remedy for their condition...
Two can play the semantic bullshit game. Regardless, you're just retconning the bible.
