I am not sure whether the dominant emotional driver behind religious practice is consolation. Or is it rather fear?

Isn't the trajectory [livejournal.com profile] altariel traces here from the 60s to the 00s more-or-less one which moves from seeing religion as based on fear to seeing it as based on consolation?
