The terror without
Fairly tales are tricky. I think that behind every fairy tale, there lurks a monster. This ogre, unacknowledged, hidden, is the most important protagonist of the story. The joviality is forced, a superficiality, to cover something else.
Each generation weaves the tales painstakingly, adding intricate pattern to that duvet of fantasies with which we the sentient, deny the existence of that creature.What is the nature of that creature, who knows!
Perhaps it is the fear of violence. Or dread of misfortune. Or perhaps it is the elements which scare the beast roaming inside the inner recesses of a civilized being. It may also be that our neural paths can not handle the unknown. Or horror of not being.
Futility of being.

You seem to have established that what is without is simply a reflection of what is within! Where are the religion-baiters?
Frog,
Who knows ? Reading Dawkins probably
