  4. Commerce without morality
  5. Science without humanity
  6. Worship without sacrifice
  7. Politics without principle

You should live your life and try to make the world a better place for your being in it, whether or not you believe in god. If there is no god, you have lost nothing and will be remembered fondly by those you left behind. If there is a benevolent god, he will judge you on your merits and not just on whether or not you believed in him.
