You should live your life with efforts of virtue and wisdom guided ethics regardless of faith. For if God exists and is rational "He" will recognize the true value is in the actions and choices that resulted from rational thinking, not the bargaining of an ego, even a higher being's ego, as superior value to just faith with limited participation in deeds. He will reward it with the final proof. If God doesnt exist the value remains with the world you leave behind anyway and that is your immortality. If God exists and is not rational but egocentric to punish the lack of unconditional faith even in the presence of decent life actions/deeds, then that is a battle in eternity worth having to improve this condition of torture that plagues the universe.
