There's certainly less existential dread believing that you'll exist forever vs facing your own mortality and that the universe will continue without you forever.
It's also a lot easier to just follow a set of right vs wrong rules that someone said you have to follow or suffer eternally vs having to figure it out for yourself and do it because it's right (and not to avoid eternal damnation).
