Within my experience it has seemed that fear of death absolutely fuels religion.
When we love someone so much and they die it's unacceptable to a lot of people to think they will never see them again. Death is so horrible for so many people. Instead of seeing the life it creates it is perceived as purely a loss.
A significant member of my family died this year. Watching my family (Christians) was heart breaking more so even than the event itself. Their lives seemed to be over and the only comforting recycled noise was that he is in a better place or we will see him again one day.
So many people are weak and cant handle anymore. Its easy to see why say a heaven is a comforting idea but we can't dismiss all the false and immoral claims within.
Life cant exist without death. Two sides of the same coin. We need to embrace it and be ok with it. Making childish stories to serve up as comfort food isn't beneficial for anyone.
