There's a growing number of very good reasons that suggest our reality is a simulation. If death is like deleting a file from your computer hard drive, then think about what happens to that file after it's deleted. It stays on the hard drive but it's index/name has been removed so it can't interact with the computer, stuck in a sorta permanent limbo till that space on the disk gets reused. But we're sentient beings, not datasheets and files. What if a sentient being taught themselves how to interact with stuff in that deleted space and exist there. If that someone were benevolent they could teach and guide others how to do the same. Teach enough people and you've effectively created an afterlife. Now considering how long the universe has existed, how many people have been born and died, and the possibility of alien races who might be smarter than us and more adept at this sorta thing, it almost sounds quite plausible that an afterlife can exist.
