I see no reason to live my life going regularly to church and singing praises to Jesus for the same reason I see no reason going to the mosque to pray to Allah. Nor do I see a reason to avoid certain foods/practices/activities purely for religious purposes. The evidence is lacking. So why should I restrict my life for something that's far from probable and knowing that it doesn't even necessarily have to be the God you claim to follow(I see you did not address this part of my argument)?
You speak of odds. Well, great. The odds are extremely low that heaven or hell exist anyway. And I'm actually being generous by not arguing that it's impossible for heaven or hell to exist.
but you don't explain: what exactly are you restricting yourself of ..
What are you being asked to give up?
Nothing!!
And then you compulsively contradict yourself immediately:

Source your claims. What are you accusing atheists of? Where is your proof? Where's the source of your information?

What's a "psychic cover," the tinfoil hat you wear to bed every night?
We've asked you repeatedly to support your claims, you can't do it, and you're over there claiming intellectual activity? We can hear your brainwave monitor flatlining from here.
