"The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge."

Again, as a catholic I agree. The goal of religion is not fear, but that of knowledge of God. God gave us an intellect to use and we should use it to understand, know, and to love Him.
