What I like about it not being specified is that it means players can't just read a published source book to know the secrets of the universe. (Yes, GMs can change things, but if there's a developed published system for religions, afterlife, planes, etc., then many GM's won't bother, and/or you can tell as a player it's mostly probably going to be like a published system once you spot enough similarities.)

Of course, a sourcebook could be published that gives many possibilities and encourages variety.

As for actual cosmological backgrounds, our TFT PCs almost never got anywhere near discovering much about the secrets of the universe.

Some GURPS games that could have been TFT games did get into quite a wide variety of such things, but not so much in TFT.
