A secularist is someone who believes in freedom from religion.

Like all beliefs, this has varying degrees. Nearly all secularists will believe in a complete separation of church and state and the removal of all religious laws. Currently, France and to a lesser extent the United States are examples of legally secular societies.

Extreme secularism will actually forbid religion, as seen in the Soviet Union. Generally, societies that forbid religion in this manner also contain a belief system to replace it,that puts the state, leader or ruling political party in the place formerly occupied by the object of religious veneration.
Non-religious.

What do secularists believe happens to you after death?

Secularism is simply the belief that religion and the state should be separated. A religious secularist will believe that whatever that person's religion argues will happen after death. A non-religious secularist will usually argue that nothing has been proven about what happens after death and all signs point to nothing occurring, so they do not believe anything about what happens after death.
