Why, if a person stopped believing in them, they would suddenly stop believing in gods. It seems as if "god" is getting the short shrift in this exchange. Does there have to be an afterlife for there to be a god? Is the one somehow necessary to the other? I don't see why.
Correct me if I'm wrong but in all religions, the god creates the heaven and hell, so they are linked in their fairytale world.
