Is this why many 'follow the crowd'? Religion hooks people in with the same fear - fit in/conform with the religion, the group, and the fear of death will go away as if by a miracle!!
"According to Quirin, performing culturally learned habitual behaviours to fit in with the crowd could be a strategy to reduce the anxiety associated with death."
