It's Pascal's Wager.

Of course, the wager invariably begs further questions, like, "which religion is the right one?", and, "if there really is a heaven and hell, do you really want to spend eternity listening to Pat and Debbie Boone and Creed, or would you rather hang with Jimi and Janice and Jim and the rest of the heathens?"
