hard materialism - body and mind is purely physical and both die at death.

soft materialism - body and soul live on after death. (not earthly body, you get a spiritual one)

Hard materialism posits that everything can be explained by physical processes, while soft materialism allows for the possibility of non-physical phenomena influencing the physical world. Soft materialism is more flexible and open to the idea of consciousness or mental states existing beyond physicality, whereas hard materialism strictly adheres to a reductionist view of the world.
