Just an interesting side note. I read this somewhere, but I forget who it was. I'm gonna paraphrase cuz I'm not exactly sure how he wrote it. It was written manly to the atheist crowd, I think.

"If I'm wrong about religion, I may look like a fool in this lifetime and, after we die, nobody's going to care.

However, if you're wrong about religion............."

I think he was trying to say that it's an awful risk for someone to not believe in anything--a risk where the reward isn't fully justifiable. Though, on another aside note, I also believe that, in a way, atheists do have their own religion:

from dictionary.com

Religion:

A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.
