I read two Marcus Aurelius quotes every morning. The first one is to help me prepare to deal with assholes(not relevant to this discussion).

This is the second.

”Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones."

I also believe most people cannot accept this. Some people literally say they would kill people if they didn't believe in god. Those people definitely need religion.
