And if there is a god but you've been worshipping the wrong one and end up in hell yourself. Perhaps this god doesn't like people like you threatening others with your beliefs and punishes you for it?
Thing is, you really need to cut out the 'what ifs' because it really doesn't go anywhere. Stick to what you know. Stick to known entities, keep to the simple until there is evidence for the complex. If you can't do that, you've got no hope of developing a rational and critical mind.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
