14. True, but that's not the way many of them see it

Sometimes you even see DUers issuing warnings to atheists that they might regret a lifetime of blasphemy once they meet their maker.

Ironically to them the only unforgivable sin is denying the existence of their imaginary friend. So if a good Christian had a bit too much of the communion wine and ran over an atheist on their way home from service, the Christian still gets paradise as a reward while the atheist burns for eternity. Kinda funny how that works.

Then again you can see why it's the secret to their success. Perpetuating an irrational fear of non-belief insures repeat customers and keeps the collection plate full. Skepticism is the greatest threat to their organization.
