Fear of death and the unknown is ingrained in our evolution. Religion masks both of those. The only way to explain the unknown with some sense of "logic" up until 100 years ago was imaginery gods in the sky. The idea of an after-life removes the fear of death. "We never actually cease to exist, we live on in heaven... blah blah blah"
