And, thanks for your comment on Buddhist perspective on after life. Unfortunately, there are many friends who claimed themselves "Buddhists" talked to me about the "World of Supreme Happiness" (極樂世界) which is a version very similar to the Heaven concept and those idealized after-life Utopia that many religion used for luring new believers to believe their religions.
God and Heaven are the two big elements in religions. The former is to explain the unknown of nature and the latter to comfort people from the fear of death.
Certainly, it will take a lot of will power and courage to face death without a religion and to deal with the unknowns.
