I guess like all surveys and statistics, it depends how you
ask the question and how you work the data ...
According to a survey released the other day, "half the atheists and
agnostics surveyed believed that everyone had a soul, that heaven and
hell existed and that there was life after death. One in eight
atheists and agonistics believe that accepting Jesus Christ as savior
probably makes life after death possible."

So, you know, not to disparage anyone's personal beliefs or anything,
but really it seems that people believe all manner of, ah, interesting
things.
