Believing anything at all "just in case" is a flawed concept. It could be that all the good things you thought you were getting by believing it actually apply to those who don't believe it; and vice versa for any bad things.

For example, it could be that I "get into heaven" if and only if I don't believe in God. So believing in God is not "playing it safe" at all.

This is why unfalsifiable propositions are utterly useless.
