You're putting words in my mouth. I'm not claiming the existence of anything, just that we may understand the issue better once we can account for how consciousness exists. Knowing that it is explained by science and ceases to exist apon death would certainly be a blow to organized religion. Discovering it is a fundamental feature of us living in a simulation would certainly change our views. Discovering it relies on forces or dimensions outside of our current understanding might open up new areas of scientic research. Being unable to explain it in the next 100 years would probably allow organized religion to continue on believing in souls.
Keeping an open mind does not mean believing until we prove otherwise. At least not for me. You are free to play Pascal's Wager as you like.
