Is the concept of afterlife what drives morality?

For some, perhaps. But, I believe that morals and ethics are taught by our species as a way to get along with one another. The "Golden Rule" works well regardless of whether you are religious or not. It is practical life strategy. As you travel and observe other cultures with different beliefs you will see some moral or ethical differences.
