For many different religions they all have their own theory/purpose as to what life is and how we came to be on this earth. To find out whether our life has any meaning after death or how we were brought onto this earth I will be looking at two different religious groups such as secular humanists and catholics to see what they believe on the existential questions.

For Catholics they believe that as soon as we die our souls are separated from the body and taken to God where he will decide if they either go to heaven, purgatory or hell. Catholics are right to believe this through their findings and the belief of others as the teaching of God has been around for so long that it would be wrong to have such a lie faced upon
