Jason,please accept my most sincerest condolences on the passing away of your grandfather.Based on your statements about him it seems like he was a wonderful man.I feel the same as you regarding death and religion.I don't think that religion has anything to do with something that comes so natural.Speaking as an atheist,life is not as complicated as we make it out to be.We are born,we live,we die and the world goes on without you.There is no reason in my mind for life after death or reincarnation.
Religion fosters false hope in a future that quite frankly I think does not exist at all.The way I see it life is enough to keep anyone busy for a lifetime to be worrying about heaven or hell or what some non-existent God might think about the way I am living my life.
My philosophy regarding life is that since we don't know how long we have on this Earth,we should live life to the fullest and live every day as if it were our last.Make those you love around you happy and enjoy those that make you happy and when that time comes for you to say goodbye you can do so with no regrets and leave with a clear conscience and peace of mind.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
