The bizarre implication I pick up over and over from some theists is that someone's belief about afterlives decides whether they get an afterlife or not.

This is of course absurd. At most, it could affect what kind you get, if there really is some terminally bored gatekeeper assigning afterlife quality based on people's beliefs about those afterlives. But that's such a convoluted scenario that it's not worth taking seriously. You may as well worry that your beliefs about shoes decide your quality of afterlife, due to some hypothetical shoe-obsessed superbeing.
