Judaism and Christianity. When you die, you go to the 'grave' and that's it. Not exactly sure about Islam, but since it is based on Judaism, any Muslim that believes 'paradise' awaits them when they die is hanging their hopes on something that was created by Plato.

How is your belief on what happens after we die any different than an atheist?

I have NO idea what happens when/if I die. That's the difference.
OP, seems like you're dealing with an existential crisis.
Don't worry. You're just doing it right. You're rejecting dogma, but now you need something to order your steps.
I can't give that to you. You have to find that on your own. Your will to live. To thrive. To make emotions and meanings out of things that ultimately have no purpose...no purpose that we can derive at least.
Remember, the burden of proof is on anyone who asserts anything.

u just said we go in our graves and that's it.
Any concept of being with the creator or a paradise is fairytales according to you.
You said these very things in this very thread
Im religious..
but what else are we if not human?
You're not "human" in the sense that you're just kinda a branch of a primate species that is a branch off of their ancestors and back and back...
All you have is conjecture and speculation. You can't back any of that up.
You'd be better off to say: "I don't know" rather than I KNOW there is a god.
The burden of proof is on you to substantiate that.

I'm an atheist (atheist/agnostic meaning I reject man written fairytales attributed to "God" or Gods but I'm open to the concept and my mind is subject to change if some real evidence becomes available) myself so this isn't a snark thread.
I'm mostly okay with that concept although there are certain times where I'm thinking about it and I'm kinda feeling like ...damn, that sucks.
At the same time I wouldn't want to live forever in an afterlife kissing some dudes ass.... (but regardless of what I want or don't want there's no real evidence of an afterlife in the way it's described in religion)
What happens to a star when it burns out? That's just it for that poor star? No star heaven?
Kinda makes everything we do now a waste of time, I don't give a sh1t about instinctive animal sh1t like passing on my genes or creating a legacy so people can remember me after I'm gone (There's no point since those who remember you will eventually die and those who remember them will eventually die and so on...)
outside of irrelevant goals we set for ourselves that don't really mean sh1t (School, work, hobbies, taking care of kids u don't want, entertainment, chasing hoes, drugs or whatever ur particular vice is) there's no reason not to commit that. (but I also guess there's no reason to do it if u don't want to also)
I'm not depressed or anything, this is just real spit tho
Ya'l brainwashed religious folks just don't know how good yal got it sometimes. The Bible/Quran has every answer you'll ever need about everything and everything will just work out fine if you just follow that path. I wish I could join ur team but it's too late.
Are you white? Just asking because it's normally whites who are atheists.
These crystal worshipping "i'm not religious, i'm spiritual" types piss me the hell off btw.
They stay trying to win arguments by being as loquacious and obtuse as possible as if we got time to be impressed by their creative speculation they WANT to be true.

i always found this story i read in a dan millman book interesting. i think it was way of the peaceful warrior
an old enlightened woman was walking along side a mountain path. she looked down and saw 3 tiger cubs walking around their mother's dead body as they starved. so she threw herself off the mountain to feed them with her own body.
chew on that.
