We all have our opinions of the [i]after[/i]life. I'm another one of those people who [b]do[/b] believe in heaven and Jesus. But even so, I respect your opinion and I respect this poem.
i think the reason people refer to things such as heaven and jesus is that death it's so overwhelming and the fact that no matter what you do you'll die someday and that at every moment of the day someone's life just ended so we have to have something to look forward to.
