The concept of an afterlife (at least in the Christian sense) is inherently selfish to me because it boilsth down to a "what's in it for me" attitude.

Oh man, this. This exactly. It's like all the people who used to talk to me when my parents took me to church when I was a kid. They would always say things like, "If you're a good girl and always do good things like the Bible says to, you'll get to go to Heaven!" Even as a six-years-old little girl, my first thought in response to that was pretty much, "Wait, you mean you need a REASON to be good and do good things?"

It's like, they always preached being selfless and doing selfless things in order to be blessed and go to Heaven, but if you're doing those things while thinking about getting something in return, they're not exactly selfless anymore. You're doing something good, but you're doing it for selfish reasons and arrrrgh all that childhood frustration is returning...

Pretty much, yes. Just about all major religions are built on getting something in return for being a good person, whether it's eternity in Heaven, 72 virgins, breaking the cycle of reincarnation, etc. It's the reason I've become very, very wary of the devoutly faithful, regardless of creed, because I've run into so many like this who pass themselves off as good people, but in reality are some of the most selfish souls I've ever met.
