Since a1s asked me, and hopefuly none else minds, I will give my own beliefs on the matter.
I am a "believer" (I don't like this word but easier for everyone) of the Olympian Gods. Yes that means Zeus, Athena etc.
I believe, according the my beliefs, what the others of same beliefs do. When anyone dies goes to the underworld (with the whole trip explained for millenia now and don't want to bother anyone by repeating it) where if he/she manages to cross the river Styx I think it is called in english, you stay there for ever. It doesn't matter how you lived your life and what you did. We all go to the same place. Where it is not similar to heaven, or hell or the limbo (sp?) that some other people believe in. It is a "neutral" existance without much anything. There are some (noobs who started it that about the 5th century BCE) that started believing in a better place for people who were nice, where they didn't know they were dead and all. That, however, is not the original "idea" and just a few from ancient Athens mainly believed in it. Still since it is part of it I thought about mentioning it too.
