The idea that a being can send you to a place to be forever tortured, your loved ones too, it is a situation that I would call - Worst scenario!
Bad for believers too if it be a god worse than the one they imagine. Like one who couldn't care whether you believed or not.
Personally, I find the idea that existence itself can become a prison where you can never leave, and to spend all eternity in pain and for the most trivial of reasons, to be the most frightening reality imaginable. I can't see how anyone would wish it to be true.
Thankfully, I've seen no evidence to support such things as gods or some afterlife. So I'm content with the fact that when I die I'll just cease to exist.
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.
