I read about an interesting experiment related to the attempt to look "to the other side." The point of it was that people were put into a special state, similar to hypnosis, they were made to believe in their own death, and after "death" they were asked to describe the place where they found themselves.
And people with similar religious beliefs described this place very similarly. Christians spoke of paradise, Buddhists of rebirth, and some spoke of an endless journey... What is interesting is that atheists didn't end up anywhere — they simply "fell into nothingness"...Maybe it's because believing people believed in paradise/rebirth...
And when their own death was suggested to them, according to their convictions, they ended up where they were supposed to go after death
(paradise/rebirth...).
But atheists believe that there is nothing after death, so they saw nothing
