As you noted in the OP, there are 3 schools so some do and some don't. Historically in most of the world these divisions have meant murder/mayhem as each group tries to demonstrate how holy they are by swinging clubs.

It all seems so pointless.

Buddhists do not have "holy" and even the second school does not believe in an afterlife, simply that there was something that created the world, and left it as is. Afterlife is a Christian deal, not buddhist. Buddhism is about being a better person and a postive impact on the world around us. Nothing more.
