Is it worse to believe in a God that doesn't exist, or not to believe in a God that does exist?

For believers, you typical have a depiction of God in your mind. One that you hold dearly for reasons that only you can know. But what if your vision, your idea, your God in a Box doesn’t match up with the reality of God if such a being exists? What if what you think you know is wrong? And worse, what if you promote your personal God in a Box to others, and mislead them as well?

What will be your fate?

For non-believers, will you be upset to find yourself in some form of afterlife? Is there any real risk in not believing in an all loving God being? If God is all loving, then what damnation would it have in store for you?

I’ve often said that there will be many more good Atheists in heaven than bad Religi. The most charitable and forgiving people I know are Atheists… speaking purely from personal experience of course. Will they be disappointed to awaken in an afterlife?
