As long as you're comfortable with the notion that your God will find your worst-case-scenario equation to be the equivalence of faith.

Personally I find that kind of moral equation to be the ultimate cop-out. And personally, I find the notion of a God demanding belief as the ticket out of eternal torment to be directly at odds with any notion of love, fairness, etc. that I have found here on earth.

Frankly my worst-case scenario is leading my entire life in fear of some centuries-old claptrap bullshit fairy tale somebody handed down, all dependent on some afterlife that there is no evidence of, in a world where people always seem to make shit up when they can't explain things.
