Because humans fear the unknown. Oblivion as it pertains to our conciousness is very hard for people to accept. The masterminds who invented the various religions of the world took advantage of this with the intent to manipulate people. Believing one can live on forever in a paridise after death allows the scared and naive among us to face death without freaking out.
