If you're wrong you get to avoidably burn in hell. Your life is at stake, which you call "nothing".

Are you really going to argue for Pascal's Wager here?

Tell me which single hell you think you're avoiding and I'll point out a few others in which you will end up.

What's so special about this? If you're wrong about religion you get to avoidably burn in hell too, in a more literal sense. That does not (and cannot) automatically change your mind about religion, or get you to invest years in the study of all possible religions, in case one of them happens to be true.
