How about...all atheists fear the afterlife?
There is no afterlife... We just wink out. There is no evidence to support any idea of an afterlife or reincarnation. No one has ever made it back to tell the tale.
Is that a comforting thought? Not particularly. I can see where people need to believe in something beyond this life, because the thought of no longer existing is unpleasant and rather terrifying. However, the truth is there is zero evidence of our consciousness or a "soul" existing after our bodies die.
