Its also the reverse of the coin. We had members joining here that although considered themselves atheists, still were terrified they might be wrong and end up suffering forever (pascal's wager).
Some modern moderate catholics these days say that "Hell is being apart from god". If that is true, I couldn't be further apart from the fairy tale, still, I see no fire or brimstone, Just normal hardships of mere mortals.
In a way, if atheists are bound to hell, all I can say is that you'll be in good company, I'm a great party guy!

ETA: Plus, we can make a barbecue without having to light the fire, although we might have a problem keeping beer cold
