For the most part Christianity does not believe in a cyclic pattern to life and death but rather a linear understanding of life and death. This corresponds with the Western worldview.
That there is a beginning and there is an end to each person's life.

Hinduism probably has the best understanding of human life and death cycles and the eternal movement of the kal chakra.
Since other religions dont believe in this they cant address the same. Thats where the Hinduism has more complete understanding of entire human life philosophy.
Other religions do talk about heaven and hell though and prescribe ways and means to attend heaven (which some feel is eternal life of pleasure)

Hinduism shows ways of escape from the perpetual cycle of life and birth because it is the basic tenet of Hinduism. Read the sixteenth chapter of the 'Garuda Puran' pertaining to laws of liberation if you understand it you are through, I can guarantee you that for sure.

After many lifetimes of wisely controlling the creation of karma and resolving past karmas when they return, the soul is fully matured in the knowledge of these divine laws and the highest use of them. Through the practice of yoga, the Hindu bursts into God's superconscious Mind, the experience of bliss, all-knowingness, perfect silence. His intellect is transmuted, and he soars into the Absolute Reality of God. He is a jnani, a knower of the Known. When the jnani is stable in repeating his realization of the Absolute, there is no longer a need for physical birth, for all lessons have been learned, all karmas fulfilled and Godness is his natural mind state. That individual soul is then naturally liberated, freed from the cycle of birth, death & rebirth on this planet. After Moksha, our soul continues its evolution in the inner worlds, eventually to merge back into its origin: God, the Primal Soul.
Every Hindu expects to seek for and attain moksha. But he or she does not expect that it will necessarily come in this present life. Hindus know this and do not delude themselves that this life is the last. Seeking and attaining profound spiritual relizations, they nevertheless know that there is much to be accomplished on earth and that only mature, God-Realized souls attain Moksha.

According to the Bible, you don't - although there are some of the eastern religions that speak of things like reincarnation - as you seem to already know. The Bible teaches in Hebrews 9:27: "Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment..."
Perhaps it is mearly a matter of what you choose to believe but consider this - what we believe does not necessarily make anything true.
