...would it change the way you live?
(In Atheism because the existence of a enduring soul doesn't automatically prove a god or gods exist.)
The Christians I've known were very consistent in being afraid of death, because, I suspect, they didn't know if they were in the correct camp regarding whatever god was "on the other side of death". This has since made me wonder how they would act if they knew they'd "make it safely out of this world". More reckless? More smug? More placid?
Additionally and not necessarily part of the above, what if we create our "next life"? Would we create a Heaven or Hell? Or both?
