When the admitting nurse asks for your religion you'll say "none"
then you'll pause, and then say "ummm, put down Catholic."

What is the downside to believing in God? If you believe and you are wrong, you're dead so you aren't aware you were wrong. And while you were alive, you had hope that you could enter the after life and see all your dead loved ones.
If you believe and you are right, you get to go to heaven. Faith in God = insurance policy.
Now allowing an organized religion to control your behavior, well, there is clearly a downside to that.
