Pascal's Wager looks a bit different if you add matrices for "belief
causes people to believe exploiting the earth is their god given right
which may lead to environmental destruction" or "belief causes people to
justify war, prejudice, hate and genocide" or "belief in god and an
afterlife causes people to cheapen the value of life leading to sending
their young to war and stiffling research into medicine" and one could
go on and on.
