Freedom of choice. The "gift" of freewill is useless if you are allowed only one choice: submit to the will of God or perish. I will use my freewill to discover good and evil for myself, to challenge and explore these long held, sometimes antiquated, beliefs.
And if that ill-tempered tyrant awaits me on the other shore beyond this life, to judge me according to his narrow rule, I offer him my middle finger as a final act of defience. I should rather go to Hell with my people than to his Heaven of cowards and beggers.

You are not going to lose anything. You have already lost your everyday existence from within yourself. By living your life in accordance to a god, you are giving up your own natural thinking about the universe - you are letting the religion shape what you should do or not do.
Here is an extreme example; I know a woman who is extremely religious. Her every movement is in accordance to her life as a christian. Everything she does is so that she will end up in heaven. Her every step, her every breath, she goes to church constantly asking for forgiveness for things. I can't imagine what she needs to be forgiven for - maybe she had a wet dream about some movie star or something and thinks that's a sin of some sort. So her entire life is governed by her faith. Faith is another word for hope. So, all she can really do is HOPE god exists and everything she does is for some kind of reason.

I never understood why anyone felt the need to “prove” their notions of spiritualism or lack thereof for endorsement. It is like ancient warfare where we burn each other’s cities down and carry off the statues of gods to prove ours is tougher. Instead of brow beating everyone to be redeemed who varies in faith, wouldn’t it be a much better world to live in if we judged people on their own personal merits? Besides, why are people of faith worried about the souls of atheists? Let God worry about the souls of men and each take care of their own.
I would rather be a heretic in good company than a zealot burning people at the stake.

I'm not an atheist, but I'd imagine that absolutely nothing would happen to us if there is no God. We'd just rot in the ground.

Well any deity that will send me to a 'hell' for having a mind of my own I would not worship anyways so I can't really see that I'm am losing anything.

sanity, peace of mind, all that cash you tithed away, the chance to hang out with fun people for the very brief time you are alive.

If you are right, then I get to tell god he's a jerk to his face. Sounds like a win/win proposition.
