That’s fair. I guess adopting exponential discounting is also good enough to rule out Christianity. Not about trying to live infinitely long, though—it would depend on how much believing in Christianity would hinder you in achieving that. (Same for other religions that don’t promise sufficiently amazing bliss.)
I would think that a properly self consistent Christian would probably not try to live forever given the expectation of being able to go to Heaven and stay there forever after a lifespan of ordinary length.
On the other hand, Christians with sufficient alief to look forward to their own deaths are pretty rare.
