Do I need to explain why?
Let's assume there is a god.
Let's then assume there is an afterlife.
Then let's assume this afterlife involves a judgment day where the deity evaluates what ultimate fate we should receive.
Given all those assumptions, which is more likely?
1. The deity evaluates us on the basis of how we lived our lives.
2. The deity is only interested in whether or not we were gullible enough to believe the correct unproven metaphysical belief system and we were lucky enough to be born in the right place where we could be properly indoctrinated in the correct belief system.
I mean, I know you'll quote The Wholly Babble here but for a moment, put the book down and try to think logically about...
Oh, who am I kidding. Of course you'll think option #2 makes perfect sense, right?
