Life is an infinitely worse travesty if Christianity is true. Your religion says that the majority of people literally get tortured forever after they die. I would argue that the case for antinatalism is far stronger if Christianity is true, since you are potentially subjecting your children to eternal damnation. The pointless suffering is only finite according to standard atheism.

Is it? The majority of Christians unironically believe that the majority of people get tortured for a literal eternity in hell. The logical conclusion of this is that by reproducing, you are potentially subjecting your children to eternal torture. The reasons Christians reproduce is either because their NPCs that do what they're told and don't think about the implications of their religion, or because they are willingly throwing their children under the bus to save themselves.

Following the Bible or Quran because you want to avoid eternal damnation and get into heaven is inherently hedonistic.

You basically have eternalist arguments that think the self is completely alienated from the body, muh science arguments that don’t actually believe in a self but still posit an identity with the body or matter, and nihilists that will usually attack the moral and ethical positions of Buddhism.
