Why Do Religion Fear What Comes After Death?

I'm not sure why their is huge fear campaign about post death matter which by the way noone can prove but give potential scenarios. Why is it seen as scary, fearful theme always? Why can't it be seen as liberation from this crazy world which is infinite and never ending for billions of years?
If u were given the choice to live on earth for 5 billion years, would U accept it knowing what life looks like and hardship? I think that would be hell. Imagine how boring it would be after a while when U seen and heard it all and knew what U seen or heard will probably evolve and change as knowledge is never ending.
I see death as a mercy not fearful, it's a hope out of this madness. I'm not promoting ppl rush to suicide or self harm either but don't fear what U don't control, let it be which is hard for humans I know, but U don't need to add every worst case scenario(potentials not actuals).
My potential theory is consciousness has individual signatures also so it's this that might be tormented or rewarded not necessarily your current physical body as a body without a conscious is just a rock. Bodies turn to fossil, dust eventually or ash if burned or some vegetation by product or liquid if in ocean.
I've seen ppl with bodies yet no mind and ppl without bodies but good mind. If I had to take a pick I'd take the disabled body.

The past is gone U can't rewind it and go back and change it. It's done, it's recorded. The future is unknown. All that we really have is the present and now.
Those topics about the past, future, post death, why was I born, are never ending questions heading nowhere useful called philosophy as it's just about potentials it's not like they can tell U anything factual. People run around with different modern terms for soul like consciousness, awareness, etc cause their is this deep resentment for religion which is ironic and one of the reason that attracted me to it.
If their hating it then their must be some truth to it. But this world does have a natural layer and naturalist thought is needed to live and progress but imagination is god gift to mankind which is their awareness is far higher then others. IQ is how quick U process knowledge its not indicator of imagination which is the real thing that leads to inventions or innovation. Knowledge without imagination is useless, imagination without knowledge is abstract and not applicable, it's the ones who blend it where needed that actually produce something new.

They do tend to fear the unknown and this can be manipulated as U rightfully stated. But the dude manipulating them it's not like he can ever prove a single word he says other then believe. It's like someone telling U to believe me I got millions of gold reserve in my yard and then manipulating U about how he can't prove it to you but U need to believe or heck we may even kill U if U dont
The past is where humans tend to live in regret due to bad choices, they live in some delirious form of anxiety about the future since it's unknown, and they go into trance like elevated state about death and post death topics.
Maybe it's cause their mind has noticed the past and they look back and see regrets and sorrow and missed opportunities, so they must naturally default just to anxiety about the future and unknowns due to past performance and once religion comes in seeing this cocktail of low confidence adds more fear about post death topics(not grounded in any proof but a belief).
I'm not saying anything is fundamentally wrong with belief, even academic world starts on a premise or belief before deciding on models of proof depending on the field. But this belief should be seen as a potential. I believe in many potentials also doesn't translate to I know this is 100% fact.
I believe every human possible scenarios is true about post death since it's all our collective best guesses, but in the end only god knows fully 100% fact. I think humans tend to go way beyond their capabilities and thinking they got some trademark fact about topics they can't prove without a doubt and it's usually about the past or going back, controlling the future, soul, post death topics. Believe them all but trust none fully, it's not their domain but god.
