Another funny fact is that only evil Christians go to Hell, Atheists don't...

When a person has a great mind and their religion limits it from thinking, then this is a grave error on both the part of the mind accepting the limitation and the religion for insisting.
Mind is endowed by the Creative Spirit. It is truly a gift that shall not be wasted. Mind is designed to exercised to its fullest potentials.
Not all religion insist on these limitations, but some do - and these are the ones that are more cultlike than Godly.
All real and true religion encourages an active and thinking mind the way God made it to be! :)
Quote: "Modern man is adequately self-conscious of religion, but his worshipful customs are confused and discredited by his accelerated social metamorphosis and unprecedented scientific developments. Thinking men and women want religion redefined, and this demand will compel religion to re-evaluate itself.
Modern man is confronted with the task of making more readjustments of human values in one generation than have been made in two thousand years. And this all influences the social attitude toward religion, for religion is a way of living as well as a technique of thinking."

When a person converts from one religion to another, the first religion is ticked off because they've "lost" someone to another team.

What religion are you referring to and what kind of people do you know who don't like it?
I know that in India it is strongly frowned upon to turn someone of Muslim or Hindu faith into a Christian. Are you talking about the United States or what?

Ancients summed up the whole of human wisdom in the maxim, know thyself. I believe there is for me no more important as there is no more difficult knowledge, than knowledge of myself and I express this knowledge of myself by building my model of self and world. Some negativists fail to see the importance of answering the grand enigmatic questions surrounding existence in a manner that produces the most powerful emotional responses of joy, faith and love imaginable. When confronted with their own mortality or the mortality of a loved one negativists may wind up feeling sad, depressed, anxious, frightened, angry, and or alienated, losing hope and faith, turning to drugs and behaving badly. I expect that having no answer to the grand enigmatic questions surrounding mystery of existence could lead negativist to a spiritual dead end. I expect that spiritual dead end would interfere with their need and aspiration to achieve and maintain good health and happiness.

anything other than Jesus Christ you lose doesn't make any difference if you have no religion or a previous religion

You should never have to worry about that. It can't limit what you don't possess. Now isn't that funny?

You mean atheism expands the mind? Then why do so many atheists ask questions in this forum?
