Neither would be "more" dangerous to someone who holds a particular 
belief - because one who believes in the wrong deity might as well be an 
atheist for all a believer in the "right" god thinks.  Both are 
heretical, and getting it wrong by believing in a god that "doesn't 
exist" or just not believing are functionally equivalent to that mindset.
