If I had to put a label on how I see it, it would be cosmotheism. Not the version that got appropriated by shitheads to excuse villainy, but the original idea. The creator *became* the creation. God isn't separate from us; we're *living in it.*

It's why humans have (very likely) felt the presence of the divine before humans had written language. That innate belief eventually got seized on, yoked up, and twisted by greedy, power-hungry charlatans who cooked up a framework to use that belief to enrich and empower themselves at their brothers' and sisters' expense.

After that all other religions even the most advanced technologies are subservient to it & its laws.

I like to think we can escape the riff raff & greed of our material world & the banks don't chase us in the afterlife for 1 more bill to pay. lol.

I hope the afterlife is a place where people can escape greedy opportunists in our material world.

We also need a place where truth reigns & we're not monitored by surveillance, AI & governments.

I think that what happens after a person dies is... that's the end of that person. Identity is bound to the neural pathways of the brain and the electrical energy following them. When those pathways are gone... that identity is gone. The energy remains and dissipates back into the environment. After I die, the energy that forms me now will still exist. It may even (on a scale of probability next to nil) all reconverge into a human being again, eventually. But that human being will not be 'me'.
