Religion/god is just wishful thinking.

Because of this life threatened issue that they have, they make it their priority to cling to this idea of god/s and the religions they create around said idea to give them hope, hope of a happy ever after, never ending life.

Most deists don't believe in an afterlife.

Personally, I have no trouble just saying "I don't know" with regards to what death is.
