>You could make the virtual environment like the versions of heaven in the various religious books and have that stuff for real rather than make believe.

Have you seen religious beliefs about the afterlife? Actually attempting such a virtual environment will wind up being the nail in the coffin for religious belief in a bodily afterlife, because it will be unenjoyable and ridiculous.

What's the matter? (Tastefully) nude harpistry not your thing?

Tastefully nude harpistry isn't even what's actually believed about the afterlife. It's the nicer version they use for folk-religion. The truth is more like spending eternity as a disembodied voice singing Psalms to the glory of God's name -- or in other words, not something that anyone ever actually thought would be a good idea.
