No, only the natural world exists and that means death is the end.

Read your Bible. Jesus called death "sleep". Everyone sleeps in the grave, not knowing anything until they are resurrected, in one of two resurrections. You either get eternal life in a sinless world (heaven and the New Earth) or you get thrown into the lake of fire and burned up, gone forever, no afterlife, no burning for all eternity in hellfire. That's a myth of the Catholic Church and Hades is an invention of Greek mythology that worked its way into translations of the Bible. Look up Ecclesiastes 9:5-6. If you go to amazingfacts.org you can find collections of the texts that discuss what happens to a person when they die. It is appointed for a man to die once and then the judgment. No one goes to their reward immediately upon death, because Jesus said their reward is with Him when He returns. See Revelation 22.

Whether I believe in heaven-hell, is of little consequence, the fact is that they are real.

I don't believe in the objective existence of heaven or hell but I'll copy and paste(but with some additions)what I posted in a question(edit:the question seems to have gotten deleted later on)I asked earlier as it may seem to be a close enough answer to your question:
I seem to be content with the concept of eternal sleep(the more likely destiny from what we may seem to know)and at its most obvious level there doesn’t seem to be any consciousness without a brain so I ‘m an atheist who doesn’t “know” if there is an afterlife but I think that if I may imagine one then I may want it to perceive it as something similar to the movie “What Dreams May Come” or being more conscious in the collective subconscious(and what was in your own subconscious in this lifetime)level of the consciousness field or being in something similar to the Barzakh or Alam-e-Araf(which is like a dream world)seemingly in some of the Islamic Sufism understandings or being in the imaginal realm where reality is a bunch of mental projections(just like this reality)but just more directly projected through thoughts straightforwardly mostly without having to go through actions of building things,and such,that started with thoughts(so:indirect mental projections)like how most things seem to be in this seemingly material world...
The idea of the collective subconscious level of the consciousness field or the imaginal realm(with directly thoughtformed mental projections without having to go through action:like building with hands to build something first thought of)can seem similar to the idea of the astral realm.Its just that there might be tribal psychic energy fields or zones(religions and their relative tulpas or egregores or godforms)at that level of the consciousness field where people may find it hard to let go their beliefs(that got ingrained in their subconscious in this lifetime)after they died and so end up there or try to bring what they believed in to life in that imaginal reality where things may already be present there in their psychic energy fields(like what they thought up and believed in in this lifetime)which would thus seem like imaginal/astral prisons in the collective and individual subconscious.So both the religious heaven and hell would be like imagined astral prisons if subconsciously perceived(but with a relatively more aware-of the subconscious-mind)in that afterlife subconscious reality...
Maybe in this outlook on the connected conscious and subconscious reality with interconnected minds it would seem more so(and more directly so)that thoughts,daydreams and fantasies of some could more directly affect the thoughts and nightdreams of others(if the some thought of the others).And thoughts of the living(and the conscious-in-the-subconscious-dead)could more directly affect the subconscious world of the living and the dead(including the living when they die)…
Again:I’m an atheist who’s content with the concept of eternal sleep that seems more likely from what we may know now,but I like to entertain the thought of an afterllife,imagine and speculate…

Yes, I believe in everything God has clearly revealed to be true. It would be pretty foolish not to.

It is my opinion that when you reach the afterlife, you will see what you are expecting to see. Then, at some point, you will realize that you can completely manipulate what you see and experience.
