Re: Do you really think we need religion to believe in an afterlife?

Well how many atheists on these boards, actually consider the possibility of there being one?

I do, and I'd even put the probability pretty high (maybe 20%). But I think it's very unlikely that we can know anything about an afterlife, if one exists, and I don't think the simplistic view of an afterlife as a "reward" or "punishment" for our actions here is realistic. So I think of it as a complete unknown.
