I didn't mean that religious people fear death more than atheists. I meant that some people aren't as willing to accept the idea that there's nothing but eternal oblivion after death. Since we're all going to die, we should make the best of life and not worry heavily about death, and the idea that death is not the end keeps some people from falling into despair and thinking that everything they work for in life will be wasted.
No matter what path each of us chooses though, we should all look forward to more of our lives, not to death.
