I'm a Born Again Christian and I also seem to straddle the line between aspie and NT. I see no point in not having faith and to me Christianity makes the most sense out of the world's religions because it does not put the focus on the believer but rather on God. All other religions require the seeker to become worthy of salvation (or moving to a higher level of consciousness.) In Christianity, you can never be worthy of salvation and nothing you can do will ever change that. Thus, the work of salvation had to be done for you by God. This goes against the grain of how humans see the world as we always want to accomplish something. By taking the sense of accomplishment away, it goes against human nature and thus is not as likely to come from man.
If I am wrong, I lose nothing. For if there is nothing higher than man then life itself is irrelevant and man no more important in the cosmic scheme of things than an ant that gets stepped on by someone walking on a sidewalk. If an asteroid were to wipe all life off the Earth, then that would be irrelevant too. So really, whether I have a false hope or no hope the ultimate outcome is the same. However, if I am right, then I have much to look forward to. I'd rather live with hope than with a sense of inevitable nonexistence. Were I to be an atheist, I would have put a gun to my head and pulled the trigger years ago. It wouldn't matter anyway.
