Thoughts and feelings similar to fear of death arise from narcissistic 
desire for immortality that evolved in the genetic evolution of the 
human species. What makes us humans who fear death?

Humans share about 98% DNA with other primates according to the recent 
study/findings of the scientific method of investigation. The other 2% 
{a well -developed cortex} makes all the difference between humans and 
the apes. A well-developed brain in humans have the potentiality to 
reason, to use technological advancement and a language/scientific 
method to investigate beliefs of reality, thoughts and memes.

Science is neither a belief nor unbelief. It is a practice of 
awareness/objectivity using reason/logic in combination of advancing 
technology to test theories about nature including us. Some humans fear 
death and some don't depending on how the brain processes behave in 
spacetime of micro and macro levels of interactions.

Some believers continue to suffer due to fear of pain of aging and 
death.
