The #1 thing religion relies upon to keep those that question their faith in line is peer pressure. You're supposed to feel awkward and uncomfortable because those feelings usually lead to people trying to avoid feeling them, and the easiest way is to simply get with the program. That's control 101, used in just about every religion as well as various (usually nefarious) political movements.
Quick rule of thumb: if people try to make you feel guilty or afraid for simply questioning what's going on, those people don't have your best interests at heart. They may profess that they do. They may even think they do, but in reality they're acting in a way to stifle the freedom of thought.
The point of religion is to spread because it's the remnants of political movements from thousands of years ago.
