As a non-religious person I've heard it phrased in a way that made me think twice about my lack of faith: either there is a higher power, or there isn't. If the latter is true and you repent your sins and go to church you have lost some time on this earth to a practice which has no impact on you in the afterlife (or lack thereof rather) . If however, it is the former which is true, that 45 minutes a week could mean the difference between eternal suffering and eternal bliss.
The argument wasn't powerful enough to sway me to go back to church, but it did bring on a logical mathematical point
