I agree that a large focus of this board is fear, but as an atheist I cannot buy into the idea of religion saving me from my emetophobia. Psychology and empirical scientific research has shown us that when tackling a fear, such as emet, it is best to look back and analyze the root causes to work through the fear through a variety of tools, such as CBT, talk therapy, exposure and desensitization. In none of those treatments is the focus on God. We did not create it. That is a terribly cruel thing to say to those of us that developed this disorder as children due to abuse or neglect. That is like saying someone asked to have Parkinson's or cancer or to become an alcoholic.

I appreciate your perspective, but personally I do not find religion to be helpful in my life in anyway, least of all my emet.
