    Lol, I grew up Christian. There was a fairly common belief that people that did this were not true believers and that god would see through their lie. (Not that all death bed conversions were invalid to be clear, just ones done for the reason of living unchristian, then still getting the reward, while still not believing.)

      Yeah if you’re doing it for social pressure that makes sense but if you’re like “maybe there’s an off chance this omniscient God thing is real” it seems fairly pointless
