Religions have tried for millennia to encourage morality in the general population, only to be denied in favor of defending (often violently) the beliefs or rights of the religion and it's people to land or wealth or power.
The most common argument I hear against greater multidimensional existence is absence of proof is proof of absence (or something along that line.) Obviously that's not true, but I think there's a better more rational argument to believe and live as if there is karma and metaphysics. That argument is: Why spend your life seeking comfort and distraction instead of having a lot of fun seeking love and joy in earnest? What's the worst that can happen? If You die anyway and it's light's out forever, you will forget your life anyway, so have fun now! Make everyone's existence happier and more full of life and live as if it's your only life, devote yourself to some higher purpose even in the absence of all proof for such a purpose.
This kind of argument I heard in my existentialist phase as a teenager, it didn't convince me initially but clearly uprooted my assumptions of life being a trip from the maternity ward to the crematorium. I'm so thankful that the Ra material exists, because without it I probably would still be depressed and very dull.
