From a psychiatric perspective
Religions are essentially
Socially acceptable forms
Of mental illness
Produced ultimately
By the terror of mortality

But from the religious perspective
Science itself (from scientia: to know)
And therefore psychiatry itself
Is an attempt to control
Not just the Unknown
But indeed the Unknowable

Both need each other
But neither one
Is completely correct

Or so it seems to me.
