people fear what they don't understand, that much is obvious.
you say you're an atheist, but you must still have faith in something. i would assume that you put your stock in reason--after all, you seem like a very reasonable person. but how can you justify reason? what makes truth true? in that case truth has to become the measure of itself, the divine principle which has replaced God. i basically see the worship of reason as a new religion.
