It's coz they understand death as sth else. For atheists and occidental peolpe death would mean nothing or just stop existing.
Try some reading about. Elizabeth Kubler-ross is what I recomend... she's awesome. You'll never fear death again after reading that book.

Who are WE? I am not afraid of death. I don't want to die just yet because I want to experience my baby grandson's life for a while, but I am not afraid. Just don't make me be in pain ..... I don't handle pain meds well.

Answer 4

death is soooo finally, like one moment you're laughing, talking, having a great time then poof! you're gone. Saw it happen to my cousin last week. 16 yrs old, no seat belt, rolled his car -- it landed on him. We were at a family reunion just minutes before. Death is so final!
