It isn't actually a statement of fact though.

Not all religious sects have an afterlife and some, like Calvinists, believe in predestination, so nothing you do affects where you are going anyway.

edit - The position of respecting other beliefs as the number one priority is basically saying that it is better to let someone die than offend them. However from a religious perspective you wouldn't normally give a shit about offending other people's beliefs as other religions are generally regarded as heresy. There are exceptions, such as the Baha'i, but generally the idea of trying to respect all beliefs is largely a secular position.
