Because "pie in the sky when you die", in whatever form, is ultimately the opposite of life-affirming. It devalues this life, the only one we know for certain that we have. Taken to its logical conclusion, it is the logic of the suicide terrorist who destroys him/herself and others in this life because s/he believes there will be a reward in the next.
