many who were originally very religious, you can understand why many ended up not believing in God. After their experiences they had chosen to disbelieve for exactly the reasons you stated. How could a so-called "loving and just God" do that to people who worship his love for all those who love him. That is the best argument for atheism that I can think of.

Many believe that there is no Hell since living on Earth sure is hell so you can only go up from here. Man, I hope there is no reincarnation since I DO NOT wan⁰t to come back here...Ever!!!

Hell is another BS concept of enslavement and mass murder by religious assholes for thousands of years. Mostly all are male as well. Domination and control of others is what religion is about. Not love, just the opposite. How is killing someone in the "name of God" accepted as an excuse to believe in such a hypocritical concept? "It is OK for ME to kill, but not for YOU to kill since my God is the savior". What shit!
