Not all all. I believe that there is some vast, unimaginable power connected to the Universe as a whole, that everything and everyone is connected somehow, but that the actual concept of this is way beyond our comprehension. I find it unacceptable and ignorant that religious groups can have the audacity to pin a label on this power, tell us that they know what it expects of us and what will happen if we don't.
Death? I think everyone, if they're honest, has an amount of fear about death. It's the one part of our lives that we aren't prepared for and, maybe, if it was discussed more rather than avoided it would be easier to accept. I do hope that there is something beyond death, that the rest of time won't just spin out into total darkness. I'd like to think this life is the first of (or one of the) steps that we all take before moving on.
