There certainly is no question of wasting life... because this belief isn't about some unknown unprovable future, but about present happiness and fulfilment. If like seems shit to you sometimes then to us theists, that's life wasted.
I know lots of theists that have had shit periods in their lives. Although you are a minority, it's a sizeable minority as nearly half the UK population believe in god, so of course I know a few theists by chance.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
