@MartinJWillett I'm not suggesing that it does. I didn't think memory was superstition but I wouldn't have said you have to believe in an afterlife to remember someone. Letting the memory of someone rest is surely a valid term. When you solve an issue or come to terms with something, is that not referred to sometimes as "laying the issue to rest". Arguing symantics on this is pointless when it's a mark of respect reguardless. Religious language is indemic but belief is not.

@wildvenisson What other than a religious context imagines a dead person existing in a state of peril which requires an incantation to be chanted to intercede for their safe "repose"?
The dead are dead, gone, they no longer exist as agents able to experience anything. Their consciousness which previously you could deduce but not confirm no longer exists anywhere in any form. There is nothing to rest and experience either peace or any other alternative.
Superstition deserves no respect.

@MartinJWillett Surely the words "rest in peace" can be taken out of a religious context and applied to the memory of someone. I don't believe in any kind of afterlife but leaving someone to rest in peace could surely also be attributed to not disturbing or sullying their memory. Also just because you don't believe in an afterlife, it doesn't mean that you can't show some respect by allowing someone or wishing someone to rest in peace.

@wildvenisson There are only two excuses for using RIP.
1] You and the deceased and the entire audience is Catholic.
2] You're a journalist writing a headline about something inanimate which has a short name and has metaphorically died.

@MartinJWillett Hate to stick my oar into this comment but also rest in peace RIP, is also just a way of saying don't ryle up the memory of said person. It's one of the reasons that as an Athiest I can still celebrate memorial days.

Oh please not RIP for George Carlin. Yes we know he's dead, but where might he be resting? Why might he need our prayers? Can't you change that to "We miss you George"?

It was intentional irony, since he ranted at great length about the statement RIP, as do I.
