ABSTRACT
If you don’t already believe in God, then it is rational to acquire the belief, since if God does exist you can expect an infinity of heavenly joy, whereas atheists are punished in hell. Provided the probability of God’s existence is finite and greater than 0, by however tiny an amount, the expected value is infinite, since any finite fraction of infinity is itself infinite, and so is bound to be greater than any finite good the atheist experiences.
