Take comfort in knowing that none of this really matters because we're just a tiny blue planet floating in space.

Catholic, but not remotely religious, I don’t believe in God. Religion, in my view, divides us and does more harm than good.
I don’t believe in heaven but I think I am open to the possibility of some kind of afterlife.
It is interesting to think humans do have ‘souls’ and when that soul leaves our physical body that energy goes somewhere. Back into the earth, reborn into another physical body, or it becomes something supernatural- I don’t bloody know but it’s fascinating to ponder. There may also be nothing at all.
IMO there’s no afterlife, to me it’s simply to comfort people and help them believe we’re not just insignificant ants who are here for a minute. I do wish I wasn’t so cynical though, the comfort must be nice.
I used to believe in the afterlife until my Mum died. Don’t get me wrong, I loved my Mum and she was great, but she criticised everything I did. She always had to nitpick about something. It’s been 11 years since she died and thinking of some of the things I’ve done and decisions I’ve made in that time, believe me, if she could come back to haunt me, she would have and she hasn’t. So there’s my answer - nothing happens, you’re just dead and that’s it!
For what purpose, and created by whom?
Honestly, I’m not sure as I’m yet to come to a conclusion… but my strongest feeling is another life form which is superior to us, or the elite who use us as ants.
Feel like there’s a bigger picture somewhere. I find life cruel and predictable so simulation theory is my only explanation 🫠
I’m not religious but I do like to believe that there is some sort of afterlife as I find it comforting to know I may possibly see my family members who have passed again. I think the reason we like to think that there is an afterlife is because thinking once we are gone that’s it does seem very final, also it makes me sad to think once I’m gone I will never see my kids again
My parents have been dead 22 and 11 years respectively and they pop up in my dreams. Always the same, they've gone away somewhere and my father visits occasionally but refuses to say where they are.
Great thread.
I went to church as a kid with my primary school friends, Sunday School etc but the older I got I seemed to lose interest.
I mean The Bible is just a book, so as for 'A God' creating everything, well no, sorry but that is nonsense.
Organised religion controlled & abused people for centuries, even now.
On the flip side my grandmother, who was like a mother to me after our real mother left early doors, was a churchgoer all her life, even when she had Alzheimer's I could see that she always gained comfort from going every Sunday.
I don't believe there is anything after death, once you are gone, you are gone.
I like to think my grandmother is in a better place, mind you.

I wasn't brought up religious, my parents I would say were atheist. I was a teenager when I lost my Dad, and didn't get to say goodbye, a week later I was dreaming my Mum was re-marrying and he appeared and gave my the biggest strongest hug, I still felt it as I woke up and I can remember it clear as day even now. That week I was back at school and kept having lots of wierd psychic moments like I could tell what people were about to say or do. It passed after a few weeks but it gave me a distraction and a belief in something else. I have had several spiritual experiences since.
I believe we are spiritual beings having a human existence. We are all made up of energy, that doesn't just snuff out when this 'vehicle' expires.
There's lots of research into children who talk of past lives, things they wouldn't know. This is a good starting point.

The CIA have plenty of declassified docs which anybody can access that have truly mind-mending details on what they have researched and discovered.
It's too much for our human brain to understand.

I went to a medium before lockdown there was a group of us, I never knew this woman, she called on two people then called on me, she said I have your brother here, mentioned his name, its an unusual name from the 50's, said a few correct things about our family, only we knew, he gave her a message to give me which was comforting and so true. So I don't know what to believe x If we all don't meet up spiritually what is the point of us being here... 
When my son was 3 nearly 4 I was tucking him into bed one night and he turned to me and said “Mummy before I was in your tummy I lived up in the sky” It was a massive goosebumps moment. At the time I just found myself saying oh did you! I really wish I had asked him more questions. He is 8 now and doesn’t remember saying itI wasn't brought up religious, my parents I would say were atheist.

I believe there's other dimensions in the universe than the physical one. When our body dies, our consciousness/spirit travels to that dimension and we either choose to remain there or reincarnate to experience another life. There's so many accounts from people who have had near death experiences and travelled outside their body when their heart stopped and there was no electrical activity in their brain, so it can't be a vivid dream while unconscious or a side effect of medication. And hundreds of thousands of documented cases of kids who recall past lives, not just vague stories that could be a coincidence, but specific details of names, places, of real people that have died. It's been studied for decades and there's just no scientific explanation for it. So I'm convinced we do have a spirit that lives on after death.

I love all these different ideas and theories about what happens when we die.
It's so endlessly fascinating to see the different beliefs people have.

I don't really know how it came about, but my Brother and I were Roman Catholics, it must have been because my Father was an RC. Anyway, we were given the choice to make up our own minds about following the religion, we chose not to.
I am now a non believer, the bible is a work of fiction but it must bring comfort to some people. I am of the belief that when someone close dies, they let us know they are still around, every now and then. I've had quite a few instances, where this has happened.

I’m not religious or spiritual, I dislike the concept of organized religion and I genuinely believe that there’s absolutely duck all on the other side when we die.
I also believe that life has zero meaning whatsoever, and that gives me great comfort.

Very similar to me. My Dad died 21 years ago and my Mum 11 years ago. I can’t recall ever having dreams about them though.
One thing that bothers me about the thought of an afterlife is when people talk about your loved ones always being around, watching over you from beyond the grave. When I die, I don’t want to come back. I don’t want to have to watch my loved ones in pain, upset and grieving me. Equally I wouldn’t want to see them cheering and celebrating either, which is more likely!
I was raised atheist/agnostic but I believe in everything somehow. I believe there’s truth in parts of every religion. Although I don’t understand why awful things happen to innocent people. A friends very young child was recently diagnosed with cancer and I cannot understand for what reason any god would do that. Does anyone who believes have insight into this?
