Amazingly, the religion of Buddhism denies that God even exists. It teaches that life and death are sort of an illusion. That's like standing at the door of the plane and saying, I'm not really here, and there's no such thing as the law of gravity, and no ground that I'm going to hit. That may temporarily help you deal with your fears, but it doesn't square with reality. And it doesn't deal with your real problem of having sinned against God and the reality of hell.
