(Examples: Wicca; Shinto; Buddhism; > assorted others. http://www.religioustolerance.org/ is worth a > look-in.) Actually I think I'd go a bit further and say that only the Abrahamic religions (Judism, Christianity, Islam, Mandaeism, Baha'i, which to me are all the same religion, just with minor differences) have this concept.
Minor diffrence ? HAHAHAH well i wish it was big diffrence because the minor diffrence kills a shit load of people here in the middle east.
Most seem to be pretty ambiguous on what happens after death. In your above examples you could argue about whether they have a deity or not - Wicca does have the Earth mother and is strongly based on older polytheistic religions (even though it's only 50 years old). Shinto is more pantheist, but some of the greater Kami (e.g. Ameratseru) were raised to the level of deities - so you could argue that they're polytheistic (then again I argue that Catholicism is a polytheistic religion - they deify anything). Personally, I'm somewhere between a pantheist and a polytheist, so as far as I'm concerned all religions are correct, for a certain value of correct. I know, when I die I'm going to be picked up by big breasted Valkyries and taken off to drink beer for eternity - now that's a good after life policy :-)
I would second that.
