Do you believe in an Afterlife/Reincarnation?

If so, does this afterlife require some kind of religious affiliation? Most of us love the idea of being reunited with loved ones in some wonderful other plane of existence. The few atheists that even bother addressing this question will say there is nothing beyond clinical death. That it's simply over. What is your opinion?

Reincarnation definitely, because
The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed - only converted from one form of energy to another. So death is basically a transformation of energy and matter nothing actually dies but changes forms.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
