I'm not religious either, but the idea is that withoug god in one's life one's life is not complete/full. That and the after life hierarchy. One does not get into heaven without accepting Jesus Christ as your lord and savor, etc, etc, but that does not mean everyone else goes to hell. There's loads of vague references and popular opinion shifts a lot, from a limbo to a purgatory like plane or place, what have you, where - sure, you're not in hell, but something wonderful and amazing is missing.
The idea isn't that shhh- and all will be well, as it is give the choice to better themselves.
When the Eskimo asked why the missionary told him, everyone cuts the famous quote off. But it finishes in one rendition with the missionary actually answering if it teaching his son to fish is wise, knowing that one day the whale might eat him. It's along the same lines, as corny as that is.
