It most certainly is a haven for the living. It cushions humans from the grim reality of their utter doom and annihilation. The bribe of heaven and the threat of hell kept the people in line, giving them a reason of living, etc.
Unfortunately, the reality is that their molecules will return to the random nothingness from which they came. Without proof, heaven and the afterlife is just fanciful thinking.....

If you believe in heaven then you believe in hell. Therefore if you are a believer in what it takes to get to heaven the following would also hold true:
If you believe, then the life here on earth will be your hell, but if you are a non-believer your life here on earth will be your heaven.
If you believe this to be true then you have to ask the additional question:
Would you gamble a lifetime on earth for eternity?
As Pavlov (of the reflexive reaction, dog hears bell=eats, fame)once said:
You should believe because if you are wrong you have only wasted a lifetime, but if you are right you have gained all eternity.
Now do you know what to believe in to make it to heaven?

no. because if you are to go to heaven you have to be dead. so there is no way that living people could go there.

An existentialist view is that the living are in hell.
