What if you’re wrong, dude?

It would be better to be faithful to one's conscience, than to feign belief, in anticipation of some imagined reward.

Manson followed his conscience. So did Lenin and Stalin.

One's own conscience can lead one astray. It's important to use our intelligence and the tools that God has given us.

If you need to err on one side of the other (of your ‘blind-faith’ argument) isn't it better to live according to a philosophy that says do not harm others and do what you can to help them?

What if that made them "happy"? If it feels good, do it, right?

Indeed, how could anything really be "better" than anything else, if everything reduces to matter in motion?

Atheism is one gigantic reductionist error.

Then you would have to worry that everybody had a well formed conscience.Feign belief is a waste of time but so it that sign.:)
