In other words, to what extent (if any) are beliefs and ideals self-created/societal cures for deep-seated phobias?
For example:
Fear of being alone = ideals of freedom, independence, friendship
Fear of pain = ideas of “evil”
Fear of death = belief in immorality
[My purpose is to address mental/emotional survival without fear, ignoring physical survival. Also, although I welcome all opinions, this is intended more as a philosophical and psychological hypothetical, rather than a religious debate.]
