Death was around long before the idea of religion was ever muttered.
What the sacred and the secular have in common: When we die, we like to think that the suffering of our existence is over.
No one knows what happens after death, either than flesh rotting and being eaten by insects, and those who claim to know are liars.
We are all dying right now. Take a look in the mirror. If you have just done this, then you were experiencing death. Your own death.
Leaving a tombstone, or even a stick in the ground, or scattering ashes in a river, or even being put in a burning boat riding the waves of the ocean are all forms of benevolent gestures if these actions were performed by loved ones.
Sure religious people think of death as a ticket to an afterlife, but not all people are religious.
Religious people are crazy.
There does not need to be a religious message attached to death. Sure the majority of people are religious, and yeah they have a religious stigma attached to death, but if they renounce their atheism at the end, then they were never really an atheist.
Born and raised as an atheist, I conclude that religious people are crazy and the majority of the world is insane and unable to cope with reality so they make shit up. However, I think that the religious leaders of the world know that the whole 'God' thing is ridiculous, but that is another can of worms.
Death is natural and we and all other organic creatures are all dying. Think of it this way and suddenly death is now seen in all aspects of life.
Spread the word brother, and teach your children the objective truth. WE KNOW NOTHING EXCEPT THAT DEATH IS INEVITABLE AND ALWAYS NEAR!!!
