Why do religious people think they must prevent everyone from going to hell?

It does not matter if it is subjective … because although it may be subejctive between people - each person ought to qualify morality according to his own criteria and then look at both atheists and theists … when I mentally and subjectively compare the two groups I ignore for the moment the fact that I believe being a believer in One God is the best of the moral codes. So to make it fair I judge the two on other criteria that they can both be compared against.

Perhaps it is subjective … But even in your own subjectivity if you did a test to find the most moral people according to your own subjective criteria … who will number in the top ranks?

Just a rhetorical question … if you want to answer it - then please provide your criteria first.

I can prove to you that morality is not that subjective - not really … there are huge trends in major aspects - you will be hard tasked to find a morally high thing that another will deem as being morally low … yes may be not as high or as low - but opposites are unlikely.

I think cultural morality is different than religious morality. Under the cultural morality umbrella, you will most of agreeing on what is moral and what is not. It is so because most of live in the west and we collectively know what is moral and what is not culturally. Morality is hugely subjective. It doesn’t matter what you say. The fact we are having this conversation is the proof of it.
