why do so many non-religious people seem to completely reject the mere possibility of an after-life, or even just a soul, or some kind of spiritual energy connecting lifeforms?

    Ahh but the idea that deities have to be or have always been anthropocentric is relatively new. It's yet another shitty consequence of Western empires justifying and aiding the theft of people and land through spreading Christianity f00kin everywhere. Many of the oldest religions in the world (thousands of years older than Christianity) have deities completely detached from humanity, e.g. Panentheist thought in early Hindu philosophy.

    And not at all dude :) I fully agree with you on the pure bullshit and contortions of modern anthropocentric religions, it's so grossly tied in with the human ego too
