It only matters if one decides that it matters. So, killing someone doesn't matter unless you think it matters?
Now tell me, how does it matter if there is a God?
Because we will be separated from him forever. That matters to me, and him.
Unfortunately, it will probably matter to you as well. But I'm not an authority on that and it doesn't matter what my speculation is.

Correct. I've decided that it matters to me. The empirical evidence establishes that others have decided that it doesn't matter to them. Since I've decided that it matters to me, I get to claim they are wrong.

So, you see, you decide what matters to you. That's good. You get to decide those things. You are an active participant in deciding what matters, what has value, what morality means to you; it isn't a spectator sport.
Tell me, why should it matter to me?
