Interesting. So religion (the bus) will get you somewhere in life, with the chance of getting into heaven (home) with hope to carry and motivate you during the trip, while atheism (remain on station) will get you absolutely nowhere?

Where exactly can religious take you that cannot be reached through nonreligious methods?

the easy answer would be "heaven" wouldn't it?  I mean I'm an atheist but that seems to be where this argument is going.  That you don't know that your religion is right, but if you want a chance at a "heaven" then you might as well pick one and see where it leads.  

Personally I think that's all a bunch of bullshit and you wouldn't get into any "heaven" anyway since you wouldn't be a true believer, but it's undeniable that atheism in and of itself is unlikely to get you into heaven.
