The point of this post is to show two quick reasons for those in this in-between state of religion and irreligion (specifically in regard to Christianity/Islam which threatens your eternal afterlife with punishment) and how you can move past this.
1. Fear is not a reason to believe + Belief is not something you can choose
If your idea of hell is literal fiery torment, let me assure you that there are no scriptures in the Judeo-Christian Bible in support of that.
Revelation 21:8
Matthew 18:8-9
Mark 9:43
Revelation 20:13-14
Revelation 20:10
Matthew 25:41
Matthew 5:22
Matthew 13:50
Mark 9:48
Matthew 13:42
That should do to be going on with.
