Finwitch:

I agree - and I suppose that, with all the Muggleborns/one Muggle 
Parent/Otherwise raised in Muggle community Hogwarts follows mostly 
as the Muggle counterpart /Real-life Britain has it. With 
Gryffindors, only Ron has full-wizard view.

What's wizards (pureblood wizard, that is, no Muggle influence) view 
on afterlife? If any are very much interested, they'll join the 
Department of Mysteries and study in the Death Chamber, but they can 
also talk to ghosts.

Also, I believe that some of them are into Druidism/Celtic ways, the 
ancient Egyptian religion etc. but mostly, no one gives it a thought.

Anyway I do theorize that Department of Mysteries and Healing is what 
wizards did before the Muggles turned against them.

Wizards were the Spirit-men, Medicine-men and the ones performing the 
sacred rituals of the earliest times. (I think the main reason of 
banning witchcraft in the Dark ages was to get rid of competition and 
secure the place of the institution).
