They also suggest that GOD created a golem, which is not offensive at all, right? It is ironic that those that are attempting to do good will such as spreading the good word as instructed by the Bible are considered to be insulting. Which would be considered to be a good citizen; a person that attempts to tell you that GOD is a myth and childish if you believe, or a person that feels an obligation to save your eternal soul by passing on information on how to save yourself? Which one has your best interest at heart?
The question of the OP was what do we think happens when we die? There were a lot of different views or opinions. On the other hand, the only ones that were disputed, disparaged or run down were the beliefs of an afterlife based on religious faith. I'm not complaining, only pointing out that a couple folks on here said they were offended by kind wishes based on religious belief. So, I appreciate the kind gesture of wishing one a "good day" or a "blessed day" or wishing GOD to "bless" me. If one says "May Allah's light shine upon you" to me, I will also take that as a kindness and not be offended.
Believing in GOD's grace and salvation to me is like having insurance. Having it and not needing it is a lot better than not having it and needing it.

LOL, I just love the “insurance” part! Yes, it is wonderful if you can believe, but some people absolutely can’t, they need to know. I am one of them. You know, the doubting Thomas etc. And for some reason I take pleasure in other people’s good will. I’m just working on my own to get better.
