> The belief in after life is ingrained in our genes

Only if you are taught.........

You should know me better than that. I don't make claims that I don't think I can find objective reasoning to support them.

Since prehistoric times and going back to early humanoids, have had ritual burials and have buried the objects dear to the deceased next to him. The only reasonable explanation is that they believed in after life. And since these rituals are before anything close to what we call religion could have existed, I'd say we have a genetic predisposition to such beliefs.
