Abrahamic religion takes an inherently dismal view of human beings. That we are naturally evil until we encounter religious instruction otherwise, that we cannot behave or live harmoniously together without it, that the world outside of their religion is a sick, sad, dark place and so on. All to position their religion as necessary for public morality, and to insulate members against secular influence.
