Friday-A series about the Top 100 phobias in the world. How #therapy such as #hypnotherapy helps cure them. Number 31 Fear of God/Religion Phobia – Theophobia An unhealthy, persistent or irrational fear of God or Religion is a specific phobia that can cause a great deal of distress to the sufferer and his loved ones. Fear of The Lord phobia is known by several names: fear of God, Fear of religion, Theophobia etc are a few of these. The word Theophobia originates from Greek words “Theology and Phobos”; former meaning God/religion and latter meaning extreme fear or dread. This is an anxiety condition that can greatly impact the quality of life of the sufferer: lost opportunities, poor grades or performance at work, lack of promotions, degrading health can all result from this phobia. Contrary to popular belief, there is no link between Atheism and Theophobia: Atheism is the disbelief in God, whereas a theophobic actually believes (or even loves) God to an extent that he fears Him deeply. A phobia related to Theophobia is Atheophobia. This is the fear of not having God in one’s life. It is not as extreme as Theophobia but is quite common among believers of God. Such people feel that they must always be ‘connected’ to the Lord: visiting a Church (or other place of worship) daily, constantly thinking or talking of God etc are a few ways in which they try to achieve this.
