    Default Most Britons 'believe in heaven'

    The majority of Britons believe in heaven and life after death, new research suggests.

    The survey of 2,060 people showed 55% believe in heaven, while 53% believe in life after death and 70% believe in the human soul.

    The study was carried out between October and November last year for the public theology think tank Theos.

    It also suggested that nearly four in 10 people, 39%, believe in ghosts and 27% believe in reincarnation.

    A further 22% believe in astrology or horoscopes and 15% believe in fortune telling or Tarot.
    more

    my question; what happens to the 2% of people who believe in heaven but not life after death?
    Cattle die, kinsmen die,
    the self must also die;
    but glory never dies,
    For the one who is able to achieve it.

    Sayings of the High One.

    TAROT (well defined) does not require anyone to "believe" in it.
    But 'heaven' has no meaning: who what when where why how?

    If man made Tarot, so be it. But the Tarot has no opposite hell.

    Sorry, I should have answered this question when I posted:

    To say "after death" is like saying "before life" [...]

    It's a non sequitur. It does not follow.

    "A soulless zombie lacks a soul but is otherwise indistinguishable from a human; this concept is used to inquire to what, if anything, the soul might amount."

    2% of soulless zombies have books overdue at their libraries. 2% don't.
    That means: 96% of soulless zombies were not considered by pollsters.
