How would the be without no life after death belief?

What about dictatorships? Funding organizations?

I think that no life after death would mean that almost everyone would believe that death is oblivion. With that being the case, many people would want their lives to be the best possible. I truly believe that this would reduce war.

Or increase it, as everyone fights and struggles to get as much as they can out of this life.

Religion was always the tool of dictators, it makes the peasants and slaves feel good to think they will be 'rewarded' eventually by an all powerful arbitrator.

So there won't be planned wars but local violence will increase a lot. And to oppose dictatorship, people have to sacrifice their life, would that happen?
