For scenario 2, it depends on where the person goes lol.

Or live life to the fullest, going only by what there's evidence for, and finding out eternity waits for you after all? I'd say the first. Granted there's the threat of some god that will cast you into a fire, or abandon you completely, because you didn't believe in something there was no evidence for. That says more about the god than you, though.
Well you wouldn't "find out" first of all, because you would just be dead without any consciousness left. And believing in God doesn't mean you're "wasting your life".
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
