One area not covered was death.
Religion loves to own this, 'big time'.
Please ... when I die, statistically the chances are, you will be around, quell those fulsome tears just long enough to reflect on me as a great guy in my own right and all the wonderful things I did and said were from my own bat and not at the behest of some fabricated supernatural dictator.
However, if, in my forthcoming senile years, I muse on Pascal's Wager, think of the catalyst as the beautiful music that His Malevolence has inspired through the ages ... or just have me put down.
