One simply transitions from being to non-being.

This is probably the healthiest belief to have, but it's still an unfounded belief. How would one know this?

We "know" this because it is what we observe every time we see someone die. We do not reliably observe anything else, and have no evidence to contradict it. It would be irrational to believe otherwise.
