Terrible example, LD. If someone commits premeditated murder, I'm fine with them facing life imprisonment - losing the enjoyment of the rest of their own life as punishment for the life that they destroyed. I'm not okay with bringing them back to life after their death, and subjecting them to torture.
In the case of religion, it's utterly absurd that a god would deliberately torture people for disbelief. Disbelief that does not cause any actual injury, let alone injury to a supposedly all-powerful deity. Disbelief that is likely outside the conscious control of the individual. Believing or not believing something is not an action; it's a conclusion that has been reached after assessing the available information.
Gawd's followers are is so thin skinned that they he can not abide even the idea that anyone might use their brain and (gasp) not believe.
