Any faith tradition that feels it can't let people experience the fullness of the world is destined to fail. We can not protect people from the world, we have to be able to live in it fully, to engage in mysteries, not to try and avoid answers.
If a religion feels like it needs to hide things, to keep things from its members to proclaim nessecary rituals for existence, then it is failing.
Religion must be able to confront all the harsh realities of the world. It does not need to have answers to those mysteries, but it should not shy away from them.
