Here are a couple of thoughts that I recently had.
There are some christians who believe that it's possible that a god made the universe as we currently know it, 6000 years ago.
An atheist might then argue, "Well then, if you want to hold that view, let's say a god made the universe as we know it, this morning when I woke up."
I'll take things a step further and say that a god creates the universe as I take my last breath, therefore I am the same as a new born baby. I haven't had the opportunity to commit any sin and any memories I have of any actions that supposedly happened in the past are simply things god put in my mind.
And if a soul of mine should exist, it cannot be judged because I haven't done anything.
Alternatively, as an atheist, I don't believe that souls or gods exist, but what if upon my death as a human being, a god then creates a soul with my memories and personality.
Brand new soul can't be judged. It hasn't done anything.
Both of these concepts, imaginary as they might be , completely side step any irrational fear of hell or being judged.

Insanity - Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result
