I don't think that's a very unpopular opinion. Pretty much every religion gives you hope that you will not cease to exist, that death is just a transition. Some of them even promise you everlasting life on Earth. And that's a very strong motivation for their adherents to keep believing.
I would rather increase my life-expectancy of 5 years with science than believing in an immortality based on religions whose fundamental books are full of things we have disproven.
Bible "on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made."
No dude, if there ever was a god it would have not taken 6 standard rotations of our sun around our planet.
There are billions of stars in our Universe, our Sun doesn't matter to God, home sapiens alone wouldn't particularly matter to God. That story is just completely nonsensical once you know basic astronomy.
So given how ridden of easily disprovable things are religious books, why should you trust them about anything at all? You shouldn't.
Throw away the fairytales books from thousands years ago and stop brainwashing next generations with it.
