I have spent some time considering this awkward problem and have come up with the following.
What if, instead of looking backwards to resolve a problem we start with the Bible, Koran. Old Testament etc. and look forward to let religion evolve from its base. Thus evolving over time and experience all the religions should gradually converge into just 1 philosophy of life.
A major problem solved.
I'm not sure that "solves" the problem of whether there is or isn't a god.
There can never be just one philosophy... unless you kill everyone but one
Whether there is a god or not is either simple or quite complex to answer, depending on your definition of god.
The afterlife however it really simple to answer.
No.
No there is not an afterlife.
It's impossible for there to be.
My answer: Brain damage
We can disrupt parts of the brain so that they do not function.
So clearly the physical matter is vital.
The only way I could see there being a creator of life on this planet is if "god" was an alien.
A super intelligent species from far beyond our observable universe
