Something of a nitpic, and it doesn't detract from the main point, but

Again, consider Christian Heaven: singing hymns doesn't sound like loads of endless fun, but you're supposed to enjoy praying, so no one can point this out.

I know lots of people, including many atheists, who really enjoy singing hymns. Being in a choir is good fun.

About as many as I have anything else.

The angels' memory has been lobotomized.

Praise! Everything is always new and interesting.

Those Christians sure do have good songs, especially around Christmas. I do wonder sometimes whether singing them increases the risk of a 'deathbed conversion', by keeping those words and thoughts too readily available at a time when you tend to be weak and maybe scared, confused and easily influenced.
