I don't really know, I'm not part of any organized religion. I don't really think it matters if there is a God or not. I think it's nice to believe that there is a greater force behind everything, as it gives us hope that bad things happen for a reason (it's all part of God's path for you, etc) and that the darkness and injustice in the world is somehow all according to some divine plan.
Bottom line; I don't think it matters what anyone believes religiously. If you spend your life helping others and positively impacting the world around you, the worst case scenario is that when you die, you don't go to an afterlife, but you will have made a lasting impression on many people's lives, and will have left happiness in your wake.
