I mean accepting that the way to do the most good (in terms of expected value) is to prevent as many people as possible from going to hell and cause as many as possible to go to heaven.
As for what this would entail, I have no idea because I’m pretty uninformed when it comes to religion.
Oh in that case, I havent seen any good reasons not to take hell and heaven seriously (e.g. at least try to find out for sure if theyre fiction or not) from effective altrusits or others, but please let me know if you come across any.

I’ve been mulling over what this would entail, and plan on sharing my ideas on the EA forum in the next few days (update: I posted that here: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/twaKWNjAc4KEz3kMq/investigating-ideology-want-to-earn-money-help-ea-and-or-me ).
I’d love to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks for asking this really cool question.
