When religion becomes a part of, or even becomes one's identity, it is very hard and almost impossible to get rid of. There are different reasons for people's beliefs whether it is that of ghosts, spirits, gods, demons and so on makes no real difference, they can't really all be reduced down to a single argument as to why some people adopts these beliefs.
Attempting to take away something that is a major part of someone's life is seriously threatening. For this reason they will cling on to their beliefs as it often is their life.
God's that we as humans have made assumptions on will most likely not exist.
Our experience after death is the same type of experience as the time before we were born (lacking the components to compose thoughts and consciousness). This is what I see as the most likely even though it perhaps isn't correct but at least I even though at that time it isn't wasn't "I" have experienced death as time before birth is the same type of condition as when we are dead and have lost the components to create thoughts and experience consciousness.
