All ancient peoples, Semitic and non-Semitic, believed in some form of continued life after death. This has been shown all over the world, in ancient writings, burial-practices, art, etc. No one in the ancient world was completely secular. Rather, you might ask what the precise afterlife-beliefs were, among specific branches of the Semitic peoples (or others). Included among the Semites were the Assyrians, Elamites, Arameans, Lyddians, Arabs, Israelite Hebrews, Moabites, Ammonites, Edumeans and others.

Can you commit sin in heaven?

No. There are no sinners in Heaven since the Devil and the demons were thrown out after losing the war in Heaven. (Revelation 12:7-9) Those that are chosen to go to Heaven are handpicked by Jehovah God and Jesus, so they know that these individuals will not only avoid sin, but won't even be tempted to do so. (Revelation 14:1-4; 1 Corinthians 15:50) (New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures)
