I think it's a take on the Pascal's Wager argument.

Of course Pascal's wager ignores you having the wrong faith, where No Faith is considered better than the wrong faith.  It also doesn't count the loss of living your life to the fullest.  Atheists are more likely to do things that make them happy, even if it's against the laws of god.  While theists are more likely to not do something that makes them happy if it goes against the laws of god.
