I've noticed that people who fear death are mostly theists, and their theism is a way of coping with death. Consider it part of the survival instinct in that theism promises that when you die, your existence continues.

I've come to terms with my fear of death this way, "What was it like before you existed? Chances are it'll be just like that when you're dead."
