Yup. I'm an atheist but I've never feared death. Never feared total annihilation of my existence either. As I think Mark Twain said, (paraphrase) I was dead for millions of years before I was born and it didn't trouble me one bit.
I do fear living a medicalized life, and more so one enforced against my will in which all bodily autonomy and right to informed consent are stripped from me, rendering me little more than humanoid livestock to be worked, examined, treated, or experimented on at the will of and for the monetary benefit of others.
If I don't at the very least own my body, I truly own nothing.
But needless to say, I never feared covid enough to join the cult.

Ditto all you said. I will die first!!!
