The famous scientist Blaise Pascal spent several days wondering whether he should become an atheist or a Christian, and looked at it from a pragmatic standpoint. In the end, he decided thus:
If he became an atheist and atheism was right, he would spend his whole life fighting against the idea of God and die and gain nothing.
If he became a Christian and Christianity was right, he would spend his whole life fighting for God and die and gain everlasting glory in paradise.
That's why, even if God does not exist, isn't it better to live life with the hope of something to come afterward, instead of just trying to convince people that there is really nothing? I'm a Christian, and proud of it.
