Jim Holt in Eternity for Atheists:
Curiously, the doctrine of immortality is more a pagan legacy than a religious one. The notion that each of us is essentially an immortal soul goes back to Plato. Whereas the body is a compound thing that eventually falls apart, Plato argued, the soul is simple and therefore imperishable. [...]Word is out that it actually looks like King's Cross station. YMMV.
If death is not extinction, what might it be like?
