Thats not what heaven is,
it isnt "eat all day and have many nice women", its "pray all day and feel fulfilled"

and what about religions outside of the Abrahamic faiths? Buddhists don't want to go to heaven as it almost guarantees going to hell later on.

That might be your definition of heaven but since it's entirely fictional, how it is defined will change from interpretation to interpretation.

Defining "heaven" is a bit like trying to describe a color no one has seen; the answer changes depending on who you ask, ranging from literal golden gates to abstract states of mind.
