Sentient beings of a higher realm ("god/deities") don't actually exist and a large majority of the homo sapien (human) population still believes in such bullshit mainly because of institutionalized societal brainwashing of children that varies by culture and region.

I think if you transplanted somehow the soul consciousness and personality of a housecat onto a human it would probably be me or the average human. Think of all the cats and really any animal that dies on a daily basis, and also consider insects if your brain is big enough. Then you start to finally understand, life and death are only significant if you believe in religion and think of humans as something more than animals. As far as the material world goes, they're just not.

Perfectly pointless, says the Teacher, perfectly pointless.
Everything is pointless.
What do people gain from all the hard work
that they work so hard at under the sun?
A generation goes, and a generation comes,
but the earth remains as it always has.
The sun rises, the sun sets;
it returns panting to the place where it dawns.
The wind blows to the south,
goes around to the north;
around and around blows the wind;
the wind returns to its rounds again.
All streams flow to the sea,
but the sea is never full;
to the place where the rivers flow,
there they continue to flow.
All words are tiring;
no one is able to speak.
The eye isn't satisfied with seeing,
neither is the ear filled up by hearing.
Whatever has happened—that’s what will happen again;
whatever has occurred—that’s what will occur again.

there is no good or evil. these are psychological attitudes grounded in arbitrary prejudices which derive entirely from an evolutionary history that is mindlessly structured for the perpetuation of faculties that serve a purely instrumental survival function. no ethical reality is ever implicated nor will it ever be. why? because there is no such realm or reality. all you can say is people die. there are no good people, there are no evil people, there are no saints or reprobates, angels or demons, gods, God, or inherent goodness of man. matter is our ground and death is our destiny.

Because God like to have good people near him. That's why OP.

Or because it's karma. And every good action someone made, makes them closer to death.
