You're welcome?
I can do critical too.
Afterlife has a lot going against it, and really does serve as a utilitarian coping mechanism for societies, as stated. 117 billion souls have existed, unless you're Hindu (which recycle), but even with Hindu you have animal souls to consider. Trillions of souls. And that's just earth. If we listen to that creepy boat guy there are also alien souls.
Hindu calls it Atman, the undying essence of being (permanent self), all animals. Buddhism traditionally hold anattman or "no soul", but simultaneous hold samsara, which is rebirth after death through the effects of your karma. You may be of impermanence but what you did gets reborn.
Or the idea that you just die, rot in the ground or get turned to ash in an oven. Your experience is limited to the viability of your body and nothing ultimately matters.
While that's totally possible it's like a dead end of hope for some.
