The existence of an afterlife is important to those who believe in such things as that as, if the y reach the "good" afterlife it will confirm that they were right all their life. Most believers in an afterlife do not give much thought to what happens if they were wrong.To believers in many non Abrahamic faiths do not see the afterlife in the same manner as the typical western their. It becomes, for Buddhists as a an example, a loss of personal identity and a merging with a selfless whole. This loss of desire and identity is seen as a desirable state/
For atheists and apatagnostics there is no concern with an afterlife even if it exists. SO it is not important.
Belief in an afterlife is valuable for some, as it provides a sense of comfort to think that loved ones have not merely deceased. There is not even a scintilla of evidence for an afterlife, so the reality is its importance is limited to how it changes the lives of those who believe.
Life (though seeming like an eternity) is only a fraction of a fraction of the afterlife. Let's say life is a dream and you really wake up when you are dead.
