=== Irreligion's effect on death anxiety ===
   −
The Bible teaches that there is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end leads to death. Furthermore, the Bible teaches to lean not on your understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge Him. Also, Scripture teaches that The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. The psalmist [[David]] declared: "The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God.' They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good." — [[Psalms]] 14:1 ([[King James Bible|KJV]])  See: [[Atheism and arrogance]] and [[Atheism and morality]] and [[Atheism and moral intelligence]]

According to the researchers Wink and Scott, the irreligious fear death more than the very religious, but fear it less than the lukewarm/moderately religious. Atheists lack the God given courage of Christians with a strong faith, but many are too arrogant to have enough sense to fear hell. See: [[Atheism and arrogance]]
