Life After God is a collection of short stories by Douglas Coupland, published in 1994. The stories are set around a theme of a generation raised without religion.

Most of the stories are not explicitly religious in theme but are meant to show how the lack of religion affects the characters and how they try to understand concepts such as death, love and meaning in everyday life from the secular world around them.

The book is published in pocket-sized format with simplistic illustrations accompanying each small subsection of the stories.

Like most of Coupland's work, Life After God explores the emotional and spiritual problems facing his age group, which was given the name Generation X after Coupland's 1991 novel of the same name.
