Even though I don't agree with fundamentalism, I can't say that I agree with what Ra wrote below. If one is intent on seeing the glass as half empty, then this is how one will see things, no matter how wet the water within the glass is. When it comes to Christians, I've mostly know people who have benefited by being Christian. Their faith has helped them be good people while in this World. My guess is that it also benefits them when they die. As opposed to ending up being people who have an overall mind set/vibrational rate that causes them to end up in a lower realm, they'll be able to cross over to a nicer place. Some have probably got stuck for a while, and remembered to call out for Jesus, as Howard Storm did during his NDE. I've seen the image of Jesus appear many times during retrievels. A sign that a person's faith in Christ serves them well.
I also know people of other religions, and they too, are also good people partly because of their faith.
If one is honest about it, one will see that a strong anti-religion stance is a form of prejudice. What's more important than those who try to control, is how people benefit through their own faith.

We are all everlasting.
And we are gonna have partys forever in the afterlife
