That's just the thing - people raised by the science denial crowd will end up thinking that eternal life is a lie too. That's the danger when you resort to telling lies because you hope it serves a greater good.
Let's say that you were raised by a cult that always insisted on four things:
1. There is no such place as Alaska. It's a conspiracy and it doesn't and never existed.
2. The world is only 200 years old. Any history or records from before then are fake.
3. Italian people are evil, in fact they are just demons in human form. You should never trust them, and never associate with them.
4. Never run into the street and play in traffic, you will get hit by a car and die.
As you go out into the world, you soon learn that 1, 2, and 3 are false. So you naturally think that 4 is false as well. Then you get hit by a car.
