One sentence-ish about what happens when we die


Buddhism: Interconnected world and reincarnation.

Hinduism: Reincarnation. eventually looking to break the cycle of rebirth and be in the presence of god. Nirvana.

Judaism: Tend to focus more on life than on death, but vague afterlife is decribed in the torah.

Christianity: If one accepts Jesus as their savior they will go to heaven, if not they will go to hell.

Islam: human existence continues after the death of the human body in the form of spiritual and physical resurrection. 

Mormanism: “Mormons believe that all humans who die will live eternally. Their spirits will go to the spirit world, where they will undergo instruction and preparation. Then, "after a time," there will be the Resurrection, at which time the spirits will be reunited with their bodies forever.”

Unitarian: tend to not believe in hell. Draws from many different religions. No set path.

Quakers: focus on life rather than death.

Atheism: “We simply decompose and become part of the matter that helps many other forms of life survive.”
