It doesn't need to be a "lie" at all.
I'm not suggesting that these other spiritual ideas need to be supported as having 'evidence' for being true.
All I'm saying is that they can't be disproved. And that, my friend, is not a lie.
The jealous God religions can be disproved via the very contradictions that are blatantly apparent within the fables themselves. You don't even need science to prove that the Abrahamic myths are false.
You ask, "Why would start, naked truth be certain doom?".
Well, if you're referring to what pure secular atheists believe to be true, then how could it be anything other than certain doom? That's precisely what a secular atheist is selling.
To simply cease to exist when your body dies is "Certain Doom"
Perhaps you don't realize this, but that is precisely what pure secular atheism amounts to,... CERTAIN DOOM.
Christian - A moron who believes that an all-benevolent God can simultaneously be a hateful jealous male-chauvinistic pig.
Wiccan - The epitome of cerebral evolution having mastered the magical powers of the universe and is in eternal harmony with the mind of God.
Atheist - An ill-defined term that means something different to everyone who uses it.

Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
Clearly Jesus (a fictitious character or otherwise) will forgive people if they merely know not what they do
For the Bible Tells us so!
