Wow some folks are so hypocritical.
If I ask a question I am interested in with an infinite amount of answers why does that bother you?
I am interested because my respect for others and curiosity has not been dulled by doctrine or self righteous elitism.
And fear of death is natural and self preserving; fear of ideas and thoughts is pathetic.

An excellent question.
My Moral Code:
Treat others as you wish to be treated.
Family comes before all else.
The only laws that count are the ones you set for yourself.
Let the Pursuit of Happiness guide your actions.
Never tolerate oppression, and defend your freedom at all costs.
As for death, you die the end! no heaven, no hell, no coming back

You would probably find that my moral code is very much the same as those people in my society and culture who belong to a religion. I have the same societal influences and cultural mores as they do.
I don't quite know what you mean by "things like death," however, do you mean "death" I can tell you that my thoughts on death are pretty clear. I don't look forward to it, but I don't fear it. I don't think that after I die, there will be anything more. The electro-chemical activity in my brain and body will cease and all I know and remember and believe and think will stop.

My moral code is probably very similar to your's and everyone else's; you should treat others the way you want to be treated. Morals play a large role in most religions, but morals exist independent of religion and are pretty consistent throughout human cultures.
Regarding death, I assume you mean afterlife. Religion usually does contain an element of the supernatural (beyond nature), such as an afterlife in heaven or hell, a specified creator, etc. Because an afterlife is beyond nature, NO ONE can KNOW that there is such a thing, but it seems more probable than not to me. This is why I am agnostic and not atheist.

Death is a natural part of life. I think that our mortality defines us, the fact that we only get one shot, one chance at life, makes life so much more meaningful. So much more beauty. And our morals come from our evolution. If you take care of each other, the better chances of your survival. Do onto others too (which is not just a christian thing) There is no need to fight and for us to have conflict anymore, among humans. We have won the evolutionary battle, we can live together in peace.

I am not relgious, I simply read Gods book. Let the bible speak.
Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Now if there is a second death, that should mean the all who has ever died will rise again and be judged. Whoever does not live in christ will suffer in this second death. This is a spiritual and eternal death. Dead people are just dead. Let the bible speak.
Ecc 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

Stealing is bad. Death and killing are both bad. Insults are bad. Selfishness is bad. Harming other people in any way is bad. Having sexual feelings for people of the same gender is not bad. Having an abortion is not bad. People who control or judge people based on their own beliefs or culture are bad. Politeness is good. People who think that morals can only come from religion are bad.

I believe ethics need to be better than antiquated morals and the legal system should not be used for revenge and punishment but only to serve justice by protecting society. And death is death .
sorry something has come up have to run ...

Morals are a function of society, not religion.
Things like death are inevitable and take time away from living. Why worry? I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Moral code: Act the way you want others to act.
Death: We are all going to die. Nothing happens after, just like before you were born.
