 In short most people don't go to the church because they're afraid of death 
 In the context of the post where we see an increase in church attendance as people get older it definitely makes sense that this is at least in part motivated by fear of dying without accepting Jesus as their lord and savior 
 That would be the Pascal's wager argument to which I replied in the note below already as I don't think it applies.
