Re: religious fear
Everything is a law - including love, humanity, kindness, justice, life and the universe itself. It is significant that the world's only OPEN revelation was ushered in with laws - and it was given to those who wanted anything but more laws, having just been freed from laws of slavery.
The term law is misunderstood, while the notion of love is incorrectly applied as if someone just discovered it. Actually, love is a law, and two other laws transcend it: HONESTY [3rd command from Sinai], and then by RESPECT [4th command] - for what is love w/o honesty and respect - other than a lawless love?
Choosing to love or fear does not require a law. It's a normal response.

Correct. Thus these are not laws.
I think you are contradicting yourself here and losing me in the process
