I've noticed over the years that there are a lot of atheists on this forum and since I've always wondered how an atheist resolves the dilemma presented by Pascal's wager in their minds, I would like to know your thoughts whoever is willing to share.

If you step back from the situation and examine it from a distance, you have already come to the conclusion that human governments will all have at least some level of corruption. Judas is the prime example, even in Jesus’ small inner circle there was a thief who sold Jesus to the even more corrupt authorities for a bag of silver which apparently he loved more than God. So every evil is evidence of a human choosing something other than God and God’s will.
Men must be governed by God or they will be ruled by tyrants.
The problem I see is that in a hierarchical system, men are always in charge.

Fred Phelps was running a scam.
He would get towns/counties to shut him down at Military Funerals, and then sue under the 1st Amendment, and profit.
I think Fred Phelps was right but kind of for the wrong reasons.
