Is Religion just a pacifier for fully grown adults, to comfort them at the thought of dying?

Religion is Not a fixer or pacifier,

but Christ Himself comforts my heart with the thought of dying..

.I can't wait to see my loved ones!

Well essentially, yes. But you're making it sound like that's a problem.

Nope... sorry. We all are going to cross that bridge eventually.

Yes, I like how a character in a show referred to it: a fairytale for adults.

Someone who has never had the opportunity to meet God and develop a relationship with Him might think so, sadly.

Religion is man's attempt to come to God.Jesus Christ is God's way to get man to know Him.Jesus is the only Savior.

No.  Thanks for asking.

Fear of dying is certainly at the centre of it, but it's not just used as a pacifier. It can be used to manipulate people, to control them, to swindle them - religion has many uses.

No that's self enforced Ignorance to help them deny what is coming

better a pacifier than to scream
