If God truly didn't exist then we're just a bunch of atoms and it doesn't matter if we live or die but no one actually behaves like that's true.
They also don't behave like an afterlife existing is true, though. People cry at funerals, instead of exalt and cheer, for one has achieved immortality and infinite joy through death. So it's not a good argument. Most arguments that start with "humans are smart and rational and their actions can be looked at as a logical basepoint" aren't good arguments.
I have definitely seen people exalt and cheer at Christian funerals
People who genuinely believe in a tangible afterlife are relatively rare but they still outnumber true consistent nihilists by several orders of magnitude. It should be the other way around if materialism is the more logical viewpoint.
People cry at funerals because they are left behind
