What happens to individuals who don't worship any deity?

Or offer only lip service and where can i find more on the subject?

You acknowledge the existence of the pantheon, but don't worship/observe/obey any of them = Pharasma judges you and sends you to whatever place appropriate. If you were a law-abiding altruist but didn't give a squat about Iomedae or Torag or whatever, you get sent to Heaven anyway.

You deny the existence of gods altogether = gloomy eternity of loneliness at the Boneyard for you.

That only happens if you fail at whatever purpose your life and soul had before it.

An atheist who succeeds at life (something that Pharasma determines) does NOT get gloomy eternity of loneliness. That soul instead transcends life and the beyond, becoming a free-spirited entity that travels the reaches of reality and metareality beyond, essentially becoming a free-roaming philosopher spirit who can't interact with existence but can observe it all and learn lots.

Still, one heck of a gamble :-) Boneyard and Groetus chow...or...Watcher from Marvel.

Thank you all, where can i find more info on the subject? if there is any more than what James said above.

IIRC, reincarnation/"please play again" is a common fate as well for both the faithful and not-so-much.

This thread may interest you. It's initially about the fate of true neutral souls, but then heads into atheist territory.

Hey, hanging with the Noloi(sp) has got to be okay. Gossipy as heck but oodles of books!

No more a "gamble" than going to Heaven or Hell.
