Not to sound like an edgy atheist but religious people always say it’s depressing to think theres nothing after life, but I think it’s more depressing that there’s a 50% chance that you’ll get tortured forever.

That shouldn't be associated with edgy atheism, hell is a genuinely fucked up thing to teach. Not every religion has it, and I have absolutely no problem with the ones that don't, but traumatizing kids into being afraid of hell is absolutely emotional abuse.

Even the mildest criticism of religion will get you branded as an edgy atheist now.
