Is fear
of change
of living
of existence,
an easier alternative
a game within a game
a tent within a house

Hear no evil
see no evil
speak evil

For me, this is an effective poem which works well apart from the broken rhythm of the last line. That ending might work better if the content were different, but it is such a very large overstatement that it cannot carry the abruptness. Yes, religious people sometimes say things that are evil. But they also sometimes speak words of love, life, encouragement or beauty.

There is indeed a kind of religion which is as you describe, and the images in the sixth and seventh line are effective and apt in targeting it. But there are other approaches to faith. For many it is not an easier alternative at all. Their faith stirs them up to acts of caring or courage which take them far from comfort.

For me, the poem contains truths about any ideologically driven approach to life, whether religious or not. Right now, UKIP and right-wing Tories come to mind.
