Worldwide I suspect that actually a lot more than half of people believe in life after death. Humanism is largely a Western idea, and isn’t universally popular here either.

Nonetheless, in some of your later posts on this I think you’ve gone a bit overboard. None of the major world religions are anything like so didactic about the precise mechanism by which someone passes from this life to the next. I’m a Christian minister, I lead services every Sunday and I take funerals several times every year, yet I would never try to tell anyone how things happen with such detail.

Your problem is you are trying to make scientific-sounding pronouncements as if they have been, or could be, scientifically verified. That is impossible - the scientific method is, by design, limited to measurable, repeatable interactions within the material universe.
