All my life, I've heard people applying Pascal's Wager to the religious argument. Adolescents and children seem especially interested in repeating it to one another that if you don't believe in a god and he really does exist, you'll pay an infinitely high price later. That seems like a bad gamble from any perspective.
Even as a child, I saw numerous errors in that application of "logic", and any one of them would be enough to keep me from pretending to believe in this alleged god.
