Isn't death an aspect of God? Didn't the curse of adam bring death to humans? So by worshipping death you're worshipping God the same way praying to Christ you're still praying to God. It isn't even as idolatrous as praying to mary since mary was human and death was always, from the time of ancient israel, the hand of God.

God warns with death, he sends angels first.

Lucifer was his best angel.

Christianity is very explicitly a death cult, yes. Whenever the psychospiritual fixation of any religious system lies in the afterlife and especially when said system tells you the world is beyond saving and innately fallen - it's a death cult. Most Christians will never acknowledge this, of course, but that doesn't make it any less true. The narrative climax of the New Testament is a literal human sacrifice, after all.

It is interesting that death is perceived as masculine all over the world and as feminine in Mexico

I assume it is something to do with motherhood. With the notion of all the hardships ending and coming back to mother death, with this divine mother figure coming over to pick off its naughty children, to be calm and quiet forever.

Here, in rural areas, people keep the remains of the deceased (skulls obtained through various means) to protect their homes. Related to this practice is the Tullupampay (from tullu = bone, pampay = burial), a ceremony where the remains are brought to the cemetery to be blessed. Although some use the name Tullupampay to include the broader practice of keeping bones.
This is Chongos' Tullupampay blessing, which is more of a public event:

Nowadays, the Tullupampay blessing is practiced in central Peru, but the custom of keeping bones is and used to be more widespread. For example, my grandfather used to keep a skull he found as a guardian of his house, near Cajamarca, in northern Peru.

>it is common to hear stories where the people in a family where a skull is kept gradually ‘receive revelations’ through their dreams about who that person was, as well as details about their build and size.

>“In my dream, it was revealed to me. He told me: I am a captain in the PIP (Peruvian Investigative Police), and I will make those people who offend you respect you. Let me know.” She saw him. “He’s a little chubby, flat-faced, dark-skinned. That’s how he revealed himself.” She asked him, “What should I call you, father?” And he said, “Luchito Iriarte. Say I am your uncle and I will make them respect you.” That was already 30 years ago.

>Other stories are about bones recovered from loved ones during exhumations in cemeteries when changing niches, for example, and they kept the heads of their parents or grandparents. There are even cases of children. They are always advised on how to best care for the house, and they light their cigarette, leave candies, and decorate them.

>In other cases, people have fortuitously found a skull in the farmland, for example

God is immortal like human soul.
Death is the end of sinful body, but not soul.
Expulsion from the Garden of Eden is the stage of evolution going from monkeys to humans.
Other things are the divine providence.
We are created by God and will be destroyed by him.

The practice of keeping guardian skulls isn’t Christian, but the annual blessing (which, as I mentioned, isn’t done for all skulls), like the one in Chongos, is held in the local cemetery and so is performed by priests
