I was brought up Christian and still have an attachment to the Christian celebrations such as Christmas and Easter, but am not at all drawn to fundamentalism.
I was raised as a religious Christian but I had reverted to Islam 4 years ago. Believing in spiritual world is common in both religion. In fact, we were taught to strive hard to do good and aim for heaven.

(This gets gruesome, so don't read this if that will bother you)
I once had a dream that I was locked in the basement of a new building that looked like it was from the late 1800s or the early 1900s. I was strapped to a table. Someone was taking out my organs while I was alive. He carefully disconnected my bones too. I noted within the dream that he was skilled with the scalpel, that he was a doctor, and that he had done this many times before. They are weird things to note, but my dreaming brain noted that stuff. The room had dim lighting, but an unnatural shadow covered his face. The dream felt real to me
Later, I was pretty curious about the dream, so I did a Google search using the details in my dream journal; basement, 1800s, doctor, serial killer, and skilled with a scalpel. Every detail matched the murders by a guy called H.H. Holmes. It turned out that he would clean up the skeletons and sell them to colleges.
I always avoided murder shows and books as a kid. However, the logical part of my brain still believes that this is a regurgitation of something that I had seen. The hopeful side takes this as proof that life continues after death.
Anyways, after that, I got pretty interested in reincarnation stuff. I'm not convinced that reincarnation is true, but that dream was trippy. I've had other interesting experiences too, but this reply is long enough.
Unconditional love is impossible until you can look at yourself without judgment.
