I believe we all have our own personal happy place to go to once we die. That's why everyone who has experienced a near-death experience sees something just a bit different that another person. It's different for all of us. But there is no god there or angels. It's a beautiful place just for us where we can see our loved ones, should we visit with each other. I'm not sure how one who says he is an atheist can believe that there would be anything after this life. How do you rationalize such a belief, how would it be possible for an after life to evolve or come into being without an outside force or being. Don't you think that you should find out the truth, would you want to know if you are wrong?
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
Nirvana is not even a happy place. It's a place best explained as "void", it's supposed to be an eternal bliss, but I don't even know what the word means, and the word that it pops up in the english-turkish or english-german dictionary is meaningless to me.

"Gods" are only a tiny sliver of the overall human experience of the supernatural, and are relatively recent inventions as compared to afterlives, which are positively ancient.

And I do not fear my own death. In a way I do, we all do a little, but I am not terrified at the notion like I was a few years ago. I know I will be at peace and I do not want to fear something everyone seems to be so taboo on. Something that's going to happen to each and every one of us eventually. I'm trying to research and watch things to make me less afraid of death. It's just something I really do not want to fear. I'm making some progress but hopefully I'll get there some day.
