If there’s more than one religion for which it’s true that you’re ****ed if you don’t follow it (bumuming they mutually forbid following other religions) then this sort of logic comes down to a choice of which particular ****ing you’d most want to avoid.

Since we don’t know for sure that any of these eschatological ****ings even exist, I’ll choose to make life on Earth a higher priority than a hypothetical afterlife. Part of that being to not waste time, energy or money on bull**** religious practice. Avoiding feeling like a mbumive tool also.

Besides, you’re bumuming that god would be satisfied with lip service, it’s not like I can consciously choose to believe in something I think is ridiculous and incoherent.
