What's more of a risk than wasting the only life you get based on superstition?
Well you do have a point that in this world the Christian may be wasting his life if he is wrong. But most Christians live fairly good, happy lives so I am not sure it is so bad.
But the possible infinite loss of the atheist and agnostic may not be worth the imagined temporary gain in this life.
