All religions spring from the need to explain or anticipate what happens when you die. Which is an understandable matter of concern because everybody's afraid to. We all grow this thing called a "self," and the self is very anxious about its fate. Kinda selfish, when you get down to it.
What if we all just return to Nothing? Lights out, end of story. Then there's really nothing to this business of death. And when there's no need to agonize over the fate of your soul (which is none other than your self in sheep's clothing), there's nothing to religion either.
