I mean if you want outrageous hope of religious equivalence from a physicalist perspective, you could hope that one day humans (or post humans or ETsor AIs) will have the ability and inclination to compute the universe (if it's practically deterministic) and be able to clone everyone/everything and thus resurrect you to bliss that way. Pretty far fetched, but doesn't require supenaturalism.
But generally, there's no hope for many things: justice for the wronged, life after death, answers to prayer, circumstances being anything but luck, the survival of consciousness for all time, objective moral truth, etc.
