I don't believe in an after-life, but I would like it if there was one. It would also be nice to have the option of terminating my existence in this after-life if it ever became unbearable. At the very least, I'd like to live for a few thousand years. The 80 or so years we get now isn't enough. Oh well, wanting something doesn;t make it so.
BTW, being an atheist doesn't automatically rule out belief in an after-life.
