On the other hand if theists are right then something will happen in the afterlife and the Atheists will find themselves with egg on their faces. Not to mention probably have to face some sort of fallout from an angry god over their rejection of him and their smug comments over the years about how stupid believers are.

One or the other.
Pascals wager

If god is as all knowing as the theists claim - he would know that you were hedging your bets. Far from promoting the view that theistic belief is 'safer' rather it is an insulting description of people so weak they'd forgo pursuing the truth of the matter at the risk of an ethereal eggy face.

And I could not care for, respect, let alone worship a god who expected me to accept him without good reason that can be made clear to me, as opposed to faulty logic like that above. In the books, there are miracles, divine magic, visions, angels etc. otherwise, none of the characters in the stories would have believed.
