We believe in him not because of we are afraid of him .
Sure you do. Maybe not you personally, I'm sure you can justify your faith adequately. But all the usual questions about "who governs our lives if there is no god" and "without god, where did everything come from" etc reflect, at their core, a fear of the alternative: the possibility that maybe, just maybe, the Universe doesn't even know we're here. And that is scary to contemplate for many people, so they fall back into a comforting lie rather than face reality head on. I'm grossly oversimplifying, obviously; but trim away the fat and gristle and that's essentially what you're left with. Fear of not knowing, fear of being alone, fear of not being in control.

Through victory, my chains are broken."
