I guess we can never know the hearts of men, but it seems like many people state that they don't fear death because of a belief in the afterlife, but the vast majority of people seem to behave as though they do actually fear it. Similarly, the religious often talk about how they're "not really saying goodbye," yet they seem to grieve as though they really are saying goodbye forever. Not judging or anything, losing a loved one hurts and people need ways to cope. Still, people's stated beliefs often seem at odds with their actions. Edit: a word.
