I do think it is kind of funny that the only real people to not fear death most of the time are the ones that do believe there is a purpose to life. Most nihilists I know of are scared of death because they know there is nothing after that and they will be forgotten and the few that are not scared try to kill themselves. But throw in a Christian or a Muslim who believe life does have purpose and they can face death casualy while nihilists struggle to maintain that level of irreverence. You can't even fault it under instinct because nihilists argue that seeking purpose or deeper meaning in things is in of itself a human instinct, so if they can surpass that through nihilism they should surpass the fear of death as well.
