I think the concept of eternal life, whilst at first is incredibly tempting, would probably end up being ever so boring after the first few thousand years. Doctors say there are five stages of accepting death: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance.
You said: 'For all we know, reality is that when we die that will be the total end for us. We will just vanish into non-existence. I'm happy with that prospect.'
Are you really happy with that prospect??
Atheists are at stage 5, most theists are at stage 1. We accept the finality of death; theists are in denial about it.
