stab in the dark (Free verse) by not_a_philosopher

in my mind which is just as faulty as any other I know of I think that I could care less what anyone else believed in as long as they believed in something because in my life which is just as incomplete as any other I know of I think I have been hard pressed to find a happy aetheist

Of course belief can't be turned on or off at will. Unfortunately (for you), Pascal's Wager only says that it's more reasonable to believe in God than to not believe in God; it doesn't do anything to make people who don't believe into believers or vice versa.

So if the question is, "If everyone were logical and reasonable, would they be agnostic?" then the answer is no, they'd believe in God.

If the question is, "If everyone became logical and reasonable, would they become agnostic?" the answer's probably also no, they probably wouldn't change, since reason doesn't seem to have much to do with it.

If the question is, "If everyone were as logical and reasonable as durr_T_hippie, would they be agnostic?" the answer's again probably no, they'd just spout off a bunch of unreasonable nonsense they'd heard somewhere, like he does.
