Terror Quotes - Page 34

• Many of them [people who escaped religion] recounted both the terror and the relief they felt after leaving religion behind. Terror at realizing there was no longer an imaginary friend; relief that no one was looking over their shoulder any more.

Others described it as simply growing up or outgrowing the need for the imaginary friends of childhood.
