We can adhere to sacred Epicurean doctrines such as the of the "Tetrapharmakos"
"Don't fear god,
Don't worry about death;
What is good is easy to get, and
What is terrible is easy to endure."
Epicureans would engrave this on hand mirriors and haircombs and such.
Apparently Julias Ceasar leaned toward Epicureanism and rejected the idea of an afterlife and Constantine the Great (founder of the Roman Catholic Church as a state religion) gave it his seal of approval as well. So there's an ancient hertiage here. But to be honest all I'm really doing is rejecting claims that aren't based on evidence of beyond flimsy eyewitness testimony and "feelings" about something.
