Once we decide whether God exists or not, then the importance of the questions changes depending on how we’ve decided. Please reread what I had afterwards with that in mind. Let me know where it was unclear as an explanation of this point.
If a divine being exists, then the other questions are very important for everyone. If not, then they are only as important as a person wants them to be. If some person doesn’t think they are important, then how would you argue they are?
Actually this is a site for non-believers. You can assume, for the most part we are not the beginners you obviously are.
There are no gods, and there is (without very specific definitions) no "god".
Not all religions (including for most of their history the Hebrew religion of the Bible).
Some of their sects believed in "resurrection", but all the dead went to Sheol, and no one was raised until the last day, and THEN they did not go to heaven.
So there is no "heaven" for humans in the Bible.
What makes you think the only god you happen to know about, is either the most authentic one, or even worth a moments consideration
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
