This is actually in my top 3 reasons why I consider christianity to be a dangerous idea.

Please, be kind when responding. I will attempt to phrase my thoughts as well as I can, but I understand, that this is a sensitive topic.
Before we start, I am obviously an atheist. I believe, that the life I am living now is the only life I will ever experience. I also believe, that both suffering and prosperity of others is our collective responsibility as a civilization. No God will bring us Haven, but we can live a good life that we have.
So, the heaven/hell idea makes it, so people will not take this life seriously. Instead of working as hard as possible to improve this life, they have a much more important task of keeping the invisible morality points high enough to enjoy the real life, that will begin after their death.
Does this make sense?

But to the point, I did not say “just let people enjoy things”. That is not how I see the world. I say, that our lives are our highest responsibility. That is kinda the true oposite, since watching people destroy their lives is watching them destroy their entire existence, and hurt society as a whole.
