About This Quote

When people become afraid to express themselves, they often find a way to express themselves through religion. Repression often causes people to turn to religion as a way of expressing their anger and frustration at their government. If society is not open and willing to hear or accept different opinions, people will often turn to religion as a way of expressing their anger and frustrations at their government. Religion is also known for being a place of refuge where people can learn about their beliefs and get the comfort they need from the ones who understand them.
