I have no innate fear of something that is completely nonsensical. Religion has the same validity as the shadow monster in the closet; Death. But religion doesn't free you from death. It IS death. As long as you think this is all you are, you WILL die. Putting another man (priest, preacher, or whatever) between you and your inner most understanding is a false path. At best, you get a "feel good" sensation. Ain't the same thing as direct knowing. Start with "Who are you?" You can not answer this question adequately.
