But the same argument works for atheism. It frees the atheist to pursue worldly pleasures. (The advantage unique to Christianity is the believer doesn’t have to hide anything.)

This might be of consequence if non-believers were the only ones committing crimes and "pursuing worldly pleasures."

But we all know that ain't true by a longshot.

However, one could make the example that the Christian worldview allows the pedophile priest into heaven after he confesses his pedophilia to Christ, and the molested child goes to hell after shunning God and Jesus because of a correlation between the faith and his abuse.

So I guess we all have our paradoxes, huh?

You switched cause and effect.

Switch it back around and you’ll see what I mean. Psychology works against atheism just as well.

If a child molester merely parrots a confession he won’t have salvation. But if he truly repents, accepts God’s forgiveness and comes to know Jesus he’s meeting God’s standards, not those of man.

God sets the standards.
