Fear can come from natural or unnatural causes. From timespast people feared “supernatural things”. Because people had no clear idea about world or how it functions, they made lot of stories, most of which are imaginations. Some may have helped man while others brought more fears and it forced them to create more stories based on their understanding of world and why many things happens in this world. As man strived to come out of his fears, he created more stories and more fears. Religion has basis in these fears. Early religions have roots in these fears. Some religious people play on people’s fears for their personal glory too.
