Whether you believe in God or not (or a different God/Gods), I think you should just be a good person. Don't kill, don't rape. If it's something that harms another person, it's bad. Don't do it. If there is a heaven, chances are you'll make it in. If not, at least you were a good person. People will remember you for that.

I used ot wonder, as a kid, why all the old folk used to be going to church every Sunday. One of them said "As you get older, you get closer to meeting God. Would you want to take a chance on him not really existing?" Food for thought!
