If you believe in God, nothing matters because you’ll go to heaven when you die.

That’s a very not-smart interpretation of Christianity. (I assume Christian because old MAGA man; sorry if I’m wrong.) Have you tried asking him why Jesus ever bothered to do anything instead of just staying in bed, or why he didn’t just tell his followers to sit on their butts and wait?

There’s no question that he thinks he’s Christian. I did not go deeper into it in this conversation, since his “fuck you, I got mine” attitude was specifically directed at me and my children. I was a bit too angry to respond rationally.
