[quote=flyer]Speaking or not speaking of religion. From some articles I’ve read, it seems that some new stats indicate that increasing numbers of people of all ages, when polled, revealed they feel extremely fearful when they actually allow themselves to face the fact that this life inevitably ends in death.

In the end, mortality can definitely be a bummer.[/quote]

so is the purpose of religioin then inpart to not actually allow people to face the fact that this life inevitably ends in death, but that there is another different unseeable life aafterward?
