I believe in life after death, being an atheist/ignostic. But not the afterlife kind, nor reincarnation, nor resurrection, I mean actual life after your death.

My body will decay and be returned to the bottom of the ecosystem and be reincorporated into a multitude of living organisms, some of them people, just as matter that was part of me has been part of countless other people and other organisms.

This new life will also die and undergo the same process as I for as long as there is life of Earth. Some would argue that this is no afterlife, but you can't get more lively than actual life! The matter of my current body will go through countless individuals and species, most of which do not yet exist, until the sun becomes a red giant, possibly engulfing the planet, perhaps letting it into a wider orbit. Eventually the sun will die, and a catastrophic event in the vicinity will destroy the sun's white dwarf remnant and the Earth's cinder, and scatter me and everyone else across the cosmos as a beautiful supernova.

And with a bit of luck, become a new planet orbiting a new star that might just develop life....
