In a way, it is. There are natural consequences for not believing in God. There are consequences for believing in Him, too. But I would say the former consequences are of a more severe nature than the latter.
So let me get this straight.
If you want to believe in something, you can just turn that on and off.
And your reason for that is what entails with it, the best "natural consequence" for yourself.
You do get that is Utilitarianism, right, (assumimg you graduated from Grade School).
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
