Pascal's wager works against you just as well. You could still end up in hell for not believing in the right god/religion. You could end up in hell for not doing something you're supposed to, or doing something that'll ensure a guaranteed place in hell.
It's all based on what if's. Not worth worrying about.

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.
