How is that Malicious deity, God has given you free will to choose from right\wrong, gave you the choice of believing in him/not to.

God is said to be omnipotent and omnipresent, so this create a scenario where you have a being who is capable of intervention and present and aware of every single evil done by humanity. The Holocaust? He did nothing. Every time an infant or anyone is raped, tortured and murdered, God is there watching not lifting a finger. The genocides in Africa? Nope nothing at all. Silence in the face of evil is itself evil.

As stated according to the two religion God does not need his creation to believe in Him, just like scientist trying to test to see which of his creation that has freewill is willing believe in Him. if his creation believe in him without seeming that individual is rewarded with heaven. You can question and disbelief in God, but if it is turn out that God is real can you really make up on excuse.

Pascal's wager, how do you know the Egyptians weren't right? Or what are you going to do if when you die the Norse gods are there.

Majority of the world believes in God, without seeing God why do they choose to believe in God. There must be reason why majority of god's creation believes in Him.

Fear of death, or more likely that people raised in a particular culture are going to be practitioners of that cultures religion. I mean it's all they've know and what their parents, grandparents, etc. all believe.

Even if God does not exist the belief in God help many remain to be good if there wasn't any God, there would be higher chance of more evil in this world.

If a person needs to fear divine punishment to be moral, they are not a good person, they're a sociopath because they clearly lack empathy.
