The "There is no afterlife" argument is not self-evident.

Given the positing of the claim of continuation of consciousness beyond the cessation of brain activity, I would think that the onus is upon the claimaint to demonstrate the validity of such a scenario.

Were talking about a soul here, which is very different from consciousness...
