How do you rationalize such a belief, how would it be possible for an after life to evolve or come into being without an outside force or being. Don't you think that you should find out the truth, would you want to know if you are wrong?
One does not have to believe in your fairy tales to believe in an afterlife, up to and including any god. "Gods" are only a tiny sliver of the overall human experience of the supernatural, and are relatively recent inventions as compared to afterlives, which are positively ancient.
