[ASOIF/Game of thrones] What was the significance of there not being an afterlife with the Red priests?

 

Benderric tells the Red Lady that he's only ever seen "darkness" in the afterlife and she gets really scared.

Then, I don't think it's ever revisited.

The only thing I can think of is that the "Red God" is bullshit, and everything is a series of lies or theatrics. Dondarrion comes back to life around the same time magic comes back to the world (the red comet/dragons) and the Red Priest buys cheap swords from Gendry's master to set them alight as a scare tactic to his enemies, probably with some kind of chemical.

He used to do that, he used wildfire. He no longer needed to when the red comet appeared.
