That's not how logic works, sir. If nobody else in the history of humanity has come back from the dead, what's more likely - Jesus was able to do it, or it's not a real story? It's not even close, the odds are very obviously in favor of the latter. "Nobody knows for sure so it could go either way" is very poor logic.

As atheist do believe it makes no difference how you live your life? Another words a person we may consider evil verses some one the works for the good of man kind. 
To me, to think there is nothing more than this life, then Solomon was right when he said "Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless."

Do you only ever do things for a greater pay-off in the future?

Sure have, I was taught to live on 90% of my income and invest 10%, I followed that advice for a future payoff, and it did pay off very well.
