Likewise, look at the 9/11 hijackers as evidence of just how dangerous belief in an after-life can be.

Believing in an afterlife might have been dangerous during the 9/11 but that's 'cause they were hardcore religious believers. I'm an agnostic and wouldn't do anything like sacrificing myself for a God or attack people because I judge their religion. I'm simply sane and want to live the longest I can. However, believing in an afterlife helps me not being scared of death and so I can react better when it comes (to maybe survive and if I die, not to be so scared, to just be curious about what's on the other side). And it also makes it easier for when other people die. It's not as sad when you believe in an afterlife. I would also make no bad decisions because of my belief in an afterlife since I'm an agnostic after all and I don't 100% believe in an afterlife, I only use that belief to help me in everyday life. (if you get what I mean.)

And also, every one has similar brains (maybe the same) but everyone has different personalities. I'm not saying it's a proof, I'm just looking for reasons why souls would exist. I myself am neutral to that belief like to any other belief. Everyone's brain has different information and experiences stored in it with diferent teachings and stuff and that might be why people are so different... I don't know.
