Genuine fear of being wrong

This is what I call the “Reverse Pasqal’s Wager.”

I have mentioned previously, when this wager is used, flaws that I perceive in the rationale.

1. The wager assumes, without evidence, that any risk is present.
2. The wager assumes, again without evidence, that all the risk rests with atheism.
3. The claim all the risk rests with atheism, is demonstrably wrong, both in the present, and more so at many points, and in many places in human history.
4. The wager assumes, again without evidence, that belief in a deity or even pretence of such belief, would eliminate the imagined risk.
