religious beliefs aside, there’s something pleasing about living a good life and facing a decent death: closure.

except without religious beliefs you cannot objectively define good and bad, it's all just moral relativism.
If you have respect for the unique chance of conscious experience of others you get your moral system rather trivially from the first principles. Certainly not worse than an arbitrary religious stick and carrot system.
Unless you subscribe to moral objectivism.
