Not wasting your life isn't an imaginary gain. What you're telling us is the possible reward of belief is worth anything you might lose. Not only is the possible reward unlikely given that you cannot prove the soul or the afterlife exist, you want us to spend the one life we know we have based on that possible, yet extremely unlikely, reward.
You will never convince anyone with such tripe.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
