Fearing death and having a conscious will to want to live are two different things. Some people take certain precautions (like: not drinking & driving, not playing with explosives or firearms, not letting a cat drive your car and run it off a cliff, etc.) because things such have a higher probability of causing death.
Fearing death is ridiculous because it is inevitable. It would be like fearing pooping after you eat.
I don't follow religions because I don't want an explanation for life or the promise of an afterlife. I would rather live my life and enjoy it for what it's worth rather than constantly worry about what's going to happen after it's finished.
