I am frightened of the person you would become without religion.

Just because we can't perceive it after we die doesn't mean we don't understand that life will continue on afterwards. We try to be good to help our fellow humans. Whether we're here to see the fruits of that behavior is of no importance, because that's not what helping people is about.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
