Other religions with no, or essentialy no, afterlife element include:
Confuscianism, Epicurianism, Shinto (mostly they leave that to the Buddhist half of life), and Taoism.
On the hell question, that's a long running debate in various Christian circles. I think it was This American Life that did a long story on the reaction when the preacher at a fundamentalist megachurch decided he no longer believes in the existence of hell.
