Everywhere around the world there is some people that say there is no god or no afterlife, then there are people that say there is a god and there is an afterlife.
Who is telling the truth.
I think the only way to find out is for me to end my life right now and see for myself who is telling the truth.
Someone should let the world know the truth and stop the division between Atheists and Christians.

That's a very narrow world you live in.
You left out about 3 billion people there.
But the fact still remains that no one KNOWS the truth. Believe what you like and let others do the same.

It's not Christianity against atheism. But rather Christianity versus everyone else.
I've seen Christians post questions here addressed to Jews, Muslims, atheists, Buddhists, gays, bis, and everyone else who does follow the cross.
Some people believe in an afterlife. Some people believe in reincarnation. Some people believe in neither.
I doubt if suicide will help you answer your question. There may a period of time before you enter the afterlife or be reincarnated where you will forget everything, including why you committed suicide in the first place.
My alternative is to study all the religious texts, all the literature on psychology, all the literature on philosophy, and all the pro-arguments on atheism. It should take you about a lifetime.

So you categorize my agnostic views as Christian? Have you no logic? If you believe in the afterlife, why would you end your time on Earth? What if it's not better in the afterlife? And if you don't believe, why short-change yourself? What if you won the lottery tomorrow? What if you met the love of your life the day after?

the world is not just split between Atheist and Christian. You also have Muslims, Judaism, Hindu, Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, and many others out there. And we will never know who is right because both sides believe they are right and unfortunately religion is one of those topics that you can't pick a happy medium.

The world is not divided into just atheists or christians, there is a vast number of other beliefs with or without their own deities. How can you so easily write-off millions of people who don't fit into those two categories.

Religious divisions have been around forever, and long antedate Christianity; read the old testament. They will continue indefinitely, no matter what anyone says or does. As for one of the better tomes on the subject, read:

If you end your life and there is no afterlife then you will die without ever knowing the answer. The division is between the sheep and the shepherds. think about it

If there is one person in the world who is telling 'the truth' it is only a coincidence.
