The consequences of being a nonbeliever and being wrong are MUCH greater than the consequences of believing and being wrong. Logically you can’t be 100% certain. So then logically it would make more sense to believe.

So should i go through the motions if I don't believe? Wouldn't God see through this?
Definitely would. I think people always struggle with faith, no matter who you are. All I can tell you is that I am going through the motions myself and it’s only made me better. And I have more belief than I did before I started.
Perhaps you would develop faith.
I was raised going to church and stopped going after I moved out of my parents. I am trying to read the bible for the first time now.
I’m in a similar situation but we didn’t actually go when I was young. So far the faith has been more like developing a muscle over time rather than a 100% on, 100% off type thing. Just my experience.
Believe what? It’s not clear what is at stake.
Pascal wants his wager back.
I kinda feel like worshipping the wrong god would be more offensive to God than just living a decent life and not being a bigot.
God is probably more offended by hate from fake Christians towards the rest of humanity than anything else.
Christian god will send you for the flames same as another god follower
