Not every religious person is 100% religious. How can you be 100% sure something like a god (or gods) doesn’t exist? How would you know? In the grand scheme of things, you are nigh imperceptible. Whether you live or die, are happy or sad, might not matter in the slightest. There are more galaxies than there are grains of sand on this planet.
Claiming to know a god doesn’t exist is as laughable as claiming a god does exist. Accepting that one doesn’t know everything is not a sign of weakness, lack of belief, or mental fortitude, it’s a realistic way of approaching the world.

Fair point but I think if I was religious I’d throw myself into it 100%. I’m not gonna half-arse my way into heaven, they’d see through that!
This way of thinking might be part of the reason why you’re not religious. 😜
