Contrast. Religion in it's selfless form, serves as a crutch and an escape mechanism - much like drugs or alcohol, for those too weak and lacking in self confidence to face reality alone. As the most extreme form of psychological dependence it frees a person from the need to think for themself, and make their own decisions by allowing him/her to trust in the deity to perform these functions for him/her. The person who is agraid to stand alone as a fully developed autonomous individual, as a "self" can escape by joining his/her "self" or ego in mystic union with the deity, thereby achieving nonexistance as an independant entity. In Hinduism the final goal to be reached is "nirvana", or absolute non-existance. In christianity the loss of self is mor subtle, involving total obedience, submission and humility and the eradication of self-will and self-assertion.Please let us discuss this.
