I'd be interested in how other religions deal with the issue. Salvation seems such a fundamental draw for religion. Perhaps I'd find more honesty in a religion that didn't espouse that.
A lot of pagan religions don't bother. There is likely an afterlife, but little to make your lot better.
Shintoism shares this. Evidence shows this was how Judaism originally viewed the afterlife as well;
dunno if any sects hold that view today.
Confusionism, which may not qualify as a religion at all, doesn't believe in an afterlife. The rewards of
living well are just inherent in living well.
