When it comes to "Religion" and fear.. yes, my wifes people regularly starved because of 'fear of the spirits' who spoke to them through a barking deer..or a particular bird.. telling them 'DONT harvest your crop this year'..and there.. due to FEAR.. it would stay untouched and rot and die or be simply eaten by monkeys and Birds.
Then.. JESUS came.. and reached into their hearts.. they received Him.. they joined their hearts to His life...they were born again, and delivered from the FEAR... now, instead of dying out as a race, they are abundant.. growing.. lawyers..doctors.. members of parliament.. entreprenuers.. bankers.. teachers... He guided them to set their SLAVES freeeeeeeeeee..... Halelujah ! :)
ISAIAH 53
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before her shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
In the New Testament we have:
1 John 3
16This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us....
And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
17If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?
18Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.
CONCLUSION .. so, I don't quite know where the 'FEAR' angle comes from
except that in our heart of hearts, we know we have 'crossed' some line, where the event can never be changed, we can only be 'forgiven'. Yes, a glorious truth, we HAVE a Savior.
