B If you want to unite with the Source/God/All That Is/Buddha Mind (whatever you call it) and lose all individuality and boundaries of your soul - spiritual practice and total devotion would be the best way to ensure this direction after death, whatever religion or spiritual practice you have, you can even become a monk or traveling dervish and cut all ties to society and physical pleasures and attachments and seek only becoming One with God or achieving Nirvana. Some people even get enlightened while still in the physical body. (Just do not go into Mahayana Buddhism as they take a vow to reincarnate till all beings are released from suffering, even after the enlightenment).

This is what Nietzsche (or Zarathustra, or the madman) means by “God is dead.” We moderns live in a world in which the question about what to live for has no definitive answer, and can’t have one. This doesn’t mean we’re all atheists, but it does mean that even religious people find themselves in a world in which atheism is acceptable. They can’t take their faith for granted. As far as the world is concerned, their belief in God is an individual choice like anyone else’s.
This is nihilism. To say that nothing is sacred is to say that there is nothing beyond oneself. One is simply the sum of one’s choices, and one’s choices are subjective, i.e. without objective validity.
