In all my questions, hardly anyone reads the additional details, so I'm just scribbling for the sake of it.
The fear of terrorism and the fear of climate change combined produces more anxiety in today's world than all other worries combined, statistically speaking. It is deduced that this is mainly because of a fear of death. People genuinely don't want to die. For some reason we enjoy the experience of pleasure and pain, only there's more pain than pleasure which makes the moments of pleasure all the more sweet.
So people have this fear of death. The fear of death is based on the fear of the unknown beyond death, which many religions have set as the moment of judgement by God. The all powerful one. It is believed after judgement, you either go to Heaven or Hell. Great, more things to be anxious about. No wonder 300 million scripts a year are filled for antidepressants. So why are you worried about Hell? Who have you done badly by that God will judge unworthy? Who do you owe?
