I don't think fear of non-existence can explain the popularity of belief in either an afterlife or reincarnation. Cosmodicy, is a far likelier explanation. Why is there apparently no justice in this life? It's dealt with in the next, and there's no particular requirement that we be able to remember our prior lives or interact with our prior plane of existence for the issue of cosmodicy to be resolved, unlike with the fear of non-existence.

Has it occurred to anyone that if you are reincarnated you are Literally "born again"?

Literally, but not figuratively.

Only to people for whom nonexistence is hell.  But truthfully, no one is condemned to nonexistence, even if you don't believe in heaven, hell, or reincarnation.  Everyone living now will always be living now, no matter what happens in the past or future.   A lack of infinite span in the temporal span does not mean we face nonexistence anymore than our having a finite span in spatial dimensions means we have no impact beyond those physical limits.
