Fear is something that everyone uses towards someone. Why should it be any different for religion?
Because their fear is childish and based on fantasy and when mixed with politics gets other people killed. Fear of prison is natural and healthy and based in reality. Evolution displays in all sorts of species a hostility to being forcefully contained, thus, although some are too ignorant to avoid doing stupid shit to get arrested, most avoid it because it provides individual freedom, and maintains social stability.
Fear is part of evolution, and all of us fear something, the difference is knowing the difference between healthy fear and irrational fear. Fear of the invisible is childish.
