But really, the more religious someone is, the more they believe in their doctrines (for the big religions anyway) the more they must think I'm unworthy and am going to be punished just for "refusing to believe" while giving me no good reason that I should believe.
Er, no, I don't think you'll be punished just for "refusing to believe." You'll be punished for all your sins. As James notes, the demons believe in the existence of God. They'll still be punished.

^ Here you argue against robvalue, essentially telling him that he is not going to be punished merely for refusing to believe. Now you admit that he would be punished for refusing to believe alone.

The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
