Unless the religion one follows condemns you to an afterlife of suffering for the actions you took to have a full tummy.

If they’re a commie (atheist) they don’t believe in an afterlife anyway, so there isn’t really any accountability in the mind of such a person if they can get away with whatever they do in this life.
> commie (atheist)

I am a capitalist-as-it-gets atheist. How dare you equate me to a communist! Belief in gods has nothing to do with belief in politicians' ability to manage the economy.

I didn’t equate atheists to commies.

Let me rephrase that: All commies are atheists but all atheists are not commies.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Unlike the religious people who believe, that they can sin as much as they want to, just as long as they repent, and then still go to heaven?

Tell me you haven’t read the Bible without telling me…
Not relevant.

What Christians believe, doesn't necessarily have anything to with what the Bible says.

Even when it does, then it's often cherry picked.
