There is a line of reasoning that says "If the atheists are correct...and after death...we all disappear into nothingness, then the Christian believers have lost nothing. But if Jesus is real...and after death...eternal life truly does begin, then the atheists are in a lot of trouble.”
That said...regardless of the hereafter...many will attest that the life that people live, here and now, is made more fulfilling, and 'easier', when one walks through it being a fully devoted follower of Jesus...and having a one on one relationship with Him.
Did you not get the fallacy revealed in posts refuting Pascal's wager? The ex-lives of Egypt's Coptic Christians might monkey wrench your second point.
"My yoke is 'easy'"...some believe He isn’t speaking here of physical burdens.
The 'easier' life mentioned above...as well as the 'yoke'...refer to being harnessed to Jesus...and 'that' coupling can bring rest, relief, and refreshment to one's soul...and peace and healing to one's heart.
