'''Afterlife''' is the existence that one has after physical death.  In the [[Christian]] religion, all humans were made with souls that live on after the body has expired.  Those souls will either be with [[God]] through the atoning sacrifice of [[Jesus]], or will be separated from Him, either in eternal torment as punishment for their sins as [[Protestant]]s believe, or in a temporary place of cleansing called [[purgatory]], as the [[Catholic]]s believe.
