Trying to eliminate it will push a massive amount of humans to reactionary action.
And when humans can't get safety out of trust, they get it using force and control.
The art is to balance these, not to imagine you can eliminate it.
BTW: I'm far from being religious. My idea of faith is more abstract than the religious one.
