Well don't they also have their own versions of bigfoot, dragons and elves does that also mean that one should belive in them too?
Also these other afterlives had other conditions one had to meet like dying with sword in your hands or dying in suicide mission killing infidels, not eating pork, not eating cows and so on.
But maybe you do suffer from some psychological disorder like Apeirophobia which is fear of infinity and afterlife.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
