if the elements in my post where false, then when we die, there would be no afterlife, no participation by our soul in another time space continuum. that would be the end of that. therefore finding out would not even matter

Nope, Islam could be true. Or Judaism, or Hinduism, or something else. That would matter a lot. If you were not a member of any religion, then by what process would you decide what to believe, such that this process's output is strongly correlated with how reality actually is?
