Fascism offers transcendence by heroic death on the field of battle.

It also tends to integrate itself into religion or co-opt it. There was an evening prayer to Hitler spoken by children during Nazi Germany after all.

It also has lots of romantic and mythical ideas like reverence of a mystical glorious past. Promises to bring back that supposedly great past is typical for fascism as well.
