Consider this: if religious idiots are wrong, and there is no heaven, what have they lost in the afterlife? Nothing. But if YOU, in all your wisdom, are WRONG and there is a hell, what have you lost? Everything. You might want to rethink your position.

"what have they lost in the afterlife?"

They would have missed their real life waiting for an alterlife!
I know many people do believe in any kind of alterlife and still enjoy this life (my own brother among them), but I know many who's only purpose seem to be preparing for the next life. -

"If you believe in God and turn out to be incorrect, you have lost nothing--but if you don't believe in God and turn out to be incorrect, you will go to hell. Therefore it is foolish to be an atheist."

This argument is known as Pascal's Wager *It has several flaws*
Firstly, it does not indicate which religion to follow. Indeed, there are many mutually exclusive and contradictory religions out there. This is often described as the "avoiding the wrong hell" problem. If a person is a follower of one religion, he may end up in another religion's version of hell.
Even if we assume that there's a God, that doesn't imply that there's one unique God. Which should we believe in? If we believe in all of them, how will we decide which commandments to follow?
