Once they START thinking more seriously then they leave Pascal's wager behind.
Yes - because it is OBVIOUS that religion is nonsense
Pascals wager is useless since it has a major flaw - it assumes that if a god exists - it can ONLY be one god - or one group of gods.
And that is not established to be true as well.
It is clear from everyday life - that religion simply is nonsense. Humans have been fighting each other in the Middle East over the "Holy Land" since before the xtian god created the earth timeline. If the gods of that area cannot provide peace - what makes you think they would be of any use otherwise?
