Because the Bible nowhere says "whoever does unto others as you would have them do unto you is saved."

And if they are not saved, why would they practice the GR?

Why wouldnt they? The "golden rule" has existed in one form or another in every religion on earth.

Why would they "hate their life," if it is the only one they deem that they have?

"Hate his own life also" is about preferring to follow Jesus and His teachings over and above anything else. It is not about a generic loathing of one's life and/or circumstances. Otherwise, only depressed people will be saved.
