Shouldn't most religious people in theory be excited to die because then they get to experience the afterlife?

So god made you broken to the point you cannot be a good person. Then god punishes you for being broken?
I grew up in a Catholic family. This is pretty much it. It's an abusive relationship. I mean, it's fiction, but it's abusive.
For real. I grew up in both a cult, and with eastern orthodoxy. Where they believe the soul of the child chooses the parents. This however is only perpetuated by parents telling their kid to follow their orders. "If you disagree, you shouldn't have chosen us as your family."
Religion is a tool to control people and inherently abusive.
