Abstract
Nobody knows for sure what will happen in the afterlife, we can only estimate based on our religious beliefs and personal opinions. Five major western religions, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Zoroastrianism and Ba Hai, also have very different outlooks on what will happen to us, individually and as the entire human race, after our deaths. Also, some believe that the human soul is immortal, while others place emphasis on bodily resurrection. In Christianity, it is believed that after death, the individual's immortal soul will be judged and sent to Heaven or Hell depending on the way they lived their life. Most people, who are neither evil nor purely good, will spend time in purgatory being purified and spiritually cleansed so they can continue on to Heaven. In Roman Catholicism, indulgences could potentially lessen your time in purgatory, depending on what act of indulgence you participate in.
