Is it possible that religion has a tendency to make people afraid of knowledge?

I'm sure its possible that for some it would make them fearful of knowledge....but for me, spirituality has lead me to seek more knowledge.Every PhD is a doctor of what? Philosophy. And every philosopher knows, that no matter what you study, it always comes down to "why are we here?" and "what is the meaning of life?". So I think that there are lots of people out there that feel the same way that I do....that the big questions lead us to wonder about things larger than ourselves.
