While Pascal suggested that it is better to take the chance of believing in a god that might not exist rather than to risk losing infinite happiness by disbelieving in a god that does, the Atheist's Wager suggests that: You should live your life and try to make the world a better place for your being in it, whether or not you believe in god.
