That's my view on it as well.

I would love to believe in some kind of afterlife, because there's so much that will happen beyond our lifespan and I'd like to be a part of that (or at least witness it), but I've never personally experienced anything to justify such a belief.

If you want to get philosophical about it though, you could make the argument that we are never truly born, and therefore never really die. All the energy and matter that constitutes our body existed before we were conceived, just in a different form. After we die that energy and matter will again become something else. In that sense, while we're consciously aware of ourselves right now, we would have always existed as a part of the universe as a whole, and will continue existing in that fashion for as long as the universe itself persists
