And yet that's not true, is it? If you're a believer and a member of a religion, you will have lost time, energy, money, and *freedom* in the only life that you get.
Moreover, what is there *is* a supernatural, divine being (SDB)--but not the one you worship? And what if that SDB is jealous, and condemns all of those who worship the god-of-Abraham to eternal torture after death--while letting everybody else just die? You cannot *prove* that that isn't the case.

Finally, why is it that no one ever seems to think about what "eternal life" would mean? Someone gave me this image years ago:
Imagine a ball of lead the size of our sun i.e. bigger than a million Earths. Every hundred years a butterfly (immune to the ball's gravity somehow) flutters by, and brushes the ball once with a wingtip, liberating a few lead atoms--which, similarly immune to gravity, float away.
When that ball of lead is worn to nothing, long long long after the heat death of our universe, ONE SECOND of eternity will have elapsed. And eternity has an *infinite* number of such seconds.
Just imagine it. Every conceivable experience and sensation, over and over and over, with no possible escape--except perhaps through madness, and then it wouldn't really be *you* having eternal life, would it?
