I don't buy the idea that fear is the reason religon exists. Fear is not a real emotion it's a manifestation of a bunch of emotional triggers but it is not a single emotion. Religion exploited fear to gain control by using social and power constructs to shame people for not buying their jive.
Fake positions of control work of fear. If humans realized fear was not real every phony power complex we have would crumble overnight.
Humans used to embrace these things like struggle and "fear", and the idea of "religon" is not that old. Prior humans would face these perceived "fears" almost daily. The classic cultures would meditate and have awakenings as a way of balancing their energy and emotions with the earth and the stars. This is an important thing to do as it keeps people balanced and healthy. Our current society is "unhealthy" simply because we has lost this old craft. Every species on earth still does his except for humans, and the fear is just a symptom of how far of the path we have gone.
Fear is fake, It has no reality. Risk is real as risk represents danger and you have to rationalize how much risk is worth whatever the reward your faced with.
