As I said it is up to the individual to determine their motivation for belief. I think I have mentioned before that it is a personal relationship.
Here's the thing: The most open-minded non-believers will say "You are free to believe, I just choose not to" . Some of the more closed minded will call the believers' intelligence into question.
The believer is bound to share his testimony or as some call it "pushing their religion on you". I will end this line of discussion with this. If my point of view has given one person pause to stop and think about the possibility that an individual has a eternal soul and there is a chance that this soul can list infinitely in bliss, then any ridicule, classes on insurance, or memes posted in response is well worth it.
Others will take the same solace in hoping they may have talked someone out of it.
