It is totally meaningless to discuss which of two beliefs that would me most meaningful/significant if true since the most important factor to be significant/meaningful is that it IS true...Except you left out the actual afterlife.
And I know why you deliberately did that.
Because it would in fact constitute a huge difference between one worldview - atheism - and the opposite of atheism.
The permanent end of conscious awareness versus enduring existence. We aren't debating which belief is true. We're debating which would be more meaningful/significant if true.
But then there really isnt an issue since we KNOW that there isnt an afterlife.
Maybe we are in the afterlife.
And yet we still wouldn't know?!
I have a sense of déjà vu*, not you?

(*) Please try to pronounce with a French accent if you can.
Also,
On a gagné! Allez les Bleus!!!
(again, French accent here.)
Or maybe we are all incarnations of a single soul, so that whenever a person dies, he returns to life as someone else.
That could explain my sense of déjà vous.
