To be honest it's not where you go at the end of life, its the journey through life that matters. You don't need religion to have morals. Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle didn't have a religion persay, just a philosophy on how to live. All you need is reason and intelligence.
So whether there is or isn't an afterlife, I'm still going to uphold those virtues (or at least try), not because a doctrine says I should, but because I want to. I know some people won't do the same, but who cares otherwise.
