Friends are religious.

Tell them when they die they're just going to rot in the dirt. Nothing special happens. God isn't real.

You shouldn't word it that way. Religious people operate under the delusion they are going to exist forever in some form. When you die you cease to exist. If you imply "they", as in the person they are right now, is going to rot in the dirt you're giving into their narrative and conceding the fact they'll live forever. It's better to think of it as their corpse will rot in the dirt because now they believe that you believe in an afterlife too, you just disagree on what exactly it is.

I think that the mere use of the possessive terminolgy "their corpse" is actually still an acknowledgement of the immortal soul. In fact I would say that the natural use of this phrasing is proof that we have immortal souls.

Similar to the fear of death. If you fear death the only conceivable explanation for this is that we instinctually acknowledge the immortality of the soul.

Ooooooo. I'm so terrified of your imaginary place of fire and brimstone. I'm literally shaking.
