Oh, I see. Pascal's wager depends upon:
There's still logical room for the possibility that you are rewarded for having belief in any religion verses being atheist, but that would be overreaching. Because torture-or-reward-forever is one of the details, like the rule that you have to believe in this particular religion, that my imagined proposal wanted to dismiss.
Funny enough, in "City of the Sun" this is the official stance: any religion (they have to be compatible with general peace) is better than atheism.
