Well, we'll find out wont we?
even if there is not a god don't you think it would be better to live your life thinking that this is not all there is?

Christians do not believe Satan will rule Hell he will be a prisoner too

Back in the day, there was no police force in existence. Armies were left for that. Armies weren't always available to keep people behaving so they came up with a means of showing example of good moral behavior that can apply to any given situation that may come up. That was called the bible.
They needed people to deliver it to the masses since most were illiterate at the time and couldn't read. Before that, they were simply morons. Hence they established churches so the people could gather and learn these rules.
Thus the birth of church and religion. Simply a means of keeping a population under control so that the armies of the time could go forth and conquer new lands, riches and other such junk and not have to turn back after 5 miles because someone started a riot.
The cross has always been a religious symbol because many innocent people were being crucified at that time and it was a small penance to their injustice. The cross didn't become a main religious staple/symbol until Jesus was himself crucified.
So it's quite possible to have crosses on churches long before Jesus came around. The sad fact that you all bandwagon behind your so called "religion fail" just shows how easily manipulated you are because you can't go check facts before you go off like an idiot and start spouting "lol biblecigarette" to look rebellious and cool. I believe in both science and religion and I think this is a decent middle ground to state my case neutrally.
