You don't have to believe in any god to believe in an afterlife. There are godless ideas of the afterlife like in the movies "Beetlejuice" and "Defending Your Life" - they are as likely and as credible as the afterlife found in the Bible, Koran, Illiad, and other mythological books. I even heard that Tarantino believes in reincarnation although he is an atheist.
But I also have not noticed that the belief in the afterlife brings significant solace to religious people who are mortally ill. They even seem more disturbed as they fear that they will go to hell.
I guess ultra-universalism is the best form of the afterlife one can hope for.
