That's like asking someone why they aren't scared of a giant flying monster coming down from the sky and eating them. If you don't believe in something, then there's no reason to base your life on it. Most religions require faith from their followers, and wouldn't accept someone practicing just out of precaution. In other words, you can't just pretend to believe in something if you really don't.
I'm not atheist, but I don't adhere to a particular organized religion. I guess I would call myself agnostic, except I believe more than likely that a higher power exists. I admit I could be wrong in that presumption. But I personally don't think a god who would make his own existence so impossible to prove would punish those who don't believe in him.
