You have a good point. If anything, people are said to fear the unknown. Apparently (well, its been apparent for some time) theists are able to alleviate that fear of the unknown by accepting made up answers, just so they can say they 'know'. They often try to make us look less credible because we admit we don't know, and yet they don't really know either.
