>You’re the best of the worst, and that’s not saying much
As far as we know we also live in the worst world possible. Overall there’s no matter to any of it, anyway. There is no everlasting life after death; no heaven nor hell. All forms of existence are vampiric in nature; all things require another; everything wants a complement. Like a crab which has mutated the ability to scuttle along the sea bed floor; our universe mutated the ability to uphold existence. Good and bad is not objective. There is no objective purpose towards life, therefor what you make of it, is.

>do you hope to be remembered in death?
I could hope, but everything passes in time. Even Jesus is becoming a distant memory of the past.
>do you believe there is something as "objective good"
Only in the sense that “good” is considered what is beneficial towards the continuation of society as a whole. Otherwise “good” can manifest as something like rape in that the rape ensures the survival of my genetics, which if I view survival of my genetics as the uttermost importance, than that rape is good.
>and if you do do you then believe that belief in an afterlife could affect how willing someone is to do objective good?
I don’t believe in an afterlife. Time may be on an infinite loop in which we are destined to repeat reality, but as far as I’m concerned there is no higher plane of existence to which we should believe a supernatural part of ourselves transcends into upon the cessation of our electrical brain activity.
