Are you afraid of death?

Many folks who have god(s) say they are not afraid of dying because of the afterlife in their belief systems. I seriously doubt most of them have no fear of it, but, be that as it may, they say it.
Since most of us don't buy into an afterlife since there is no evidence for it, are we more afraid of it that others?
I sure as heck don't want to do it because I really, really like being alive, but I am not afraid of it. It's ineluctable, and that gives me the freedom to fully embrace my life and the lives of others.
What are your thoughts about it?
