Madscientist, there is a such a thing as an unwavering faith. That is why people lay down there lives everyday for whatever their cause is. Your question is about religion and the afterlife though so let me tell you about my faith please. You state that we will enter paradise because of depriving ourselves of some kind of earthly pleasure. I will enter paradise not because of something that I have or have not done but because of what Christ has done for me.
If,after my life is done,and there is only nothingness as you state,what have I lost because of my faith? Nothing-I still had a wonderful life because of my faith-however ,you speak of a hell in your post,so if I am correct I have gained everything.
Now please let me rephrase your question and let me know what you think. Does the atheist ever worry that he will suffer in this hell that you speak of just for a little bit of earthly pleasure? Let me close with the statement that--I HAVE AN UNWAVERING FAITH--
