Unfortunately, most religions have misunderstandings and blind spots in their thinking in how they see the world, their place within it, and the meaning and existence of a higher power and a possible afterlife. Such faulty thinking is encouraged and often augmented through manipulation that is constantly arranged to happen. Mind control has been used all through human history to create false beliefs and many consequences applying the overall strategy of divide and conquer to raise doubts, raise fear, create hostility towards others and anything different from a person's cherished notions, especially tribal beliefs and customs that give people a sense of belonging and an identity. So there is a gap of understanding here, in thinking there is no life after death, but there still is the intuitive awareness that there can be a kind of rescue, to live on a perfect world from those who have passed away who are not too far gone. That is not far from the truth of things, that the planned Ascension of Humanity will take an ascended world with it, leaving the old physical Earth behind. So all that is missing is a realization that the soul is eternal, and all beings will go somewhere after death, and their destiny is up to them.
