As we all know, cigarettes are highly addictive and bad for one's health.
Imagine a new kind of cigarette that could also convince its users that all non-smokers (including children) would suffer infinite torture after death.
Soon, the world would be filled with zealous people trying to get others to smoke. Eventually they would become a political majority and use the force of law to make sure everyone became a smoker.
It's a good analogy for religions like Christianity and Islam.

That was called acid-laced pot. It didn't catch on.

I'm just glad that the Bible tells us that "God will have all mankind to be saved because Christ ransomed all" (see 1 Tim.2:4-6). No cigarettes needed for that.

This assumes that said cigarettes created the universe. Also, I don't see or hear cigarettes speaking or sharing ideas or concepts.
Cutting to the chase, if God was just some made up concept, then I would have never gave up my agnostic point of view.

Most of us already knew that all gods have died, gone away, and no more figments of our imaginations.
