Of course most of them believe that atheists are going to hell. If not, what would be the point of their religious practicing? Why would they spend years on their knees before God if those who do not may receive the same reward anyway?


why are we on our knees?


You expect to benefit from it by avoiding eternal suffering and receiving eternal happiness and joy. Avoiding what you fear and seeking beneficial life conditions is part of human nature, after all.

You clearly have no idea what sprititual belief is all about.  Believing in God isn't some burdensome experience that you bank in the hopes of a later reward after death.  Christianity is easy, you just be a good person.  I guess sometimes being good is tough.  And helping others may take sacrifice.  But it's what we should be doing in life anyway.  But whatever happens after death will happen regardless.  Religious belief during life is not to hopefully book a penthouse suite in Heaven, but rather to assist you with the current life before you get there.
