I didn't speak of the afterlife or eventual lack of it. Everything I said is objectively true.

As for the fear itself, that's another subject. The fear of almost everything is instinctual, like most opinions and emotions. The fear of death comes from evolution's main purpose: survival and propagation of the species, and by extent, the individual.
