The Medal
"A mother could not get her son to come home before sunset. So, she told him that the road to their house was haunted by ghosts who come out after dusk.
By the time the boy grew up he was so afraid of ghosts that he refused to run errands at night. So she gave him a medal and taught him that it would protect him.
Bad religion gives him faith in the medal. Good religion gets him to see that ghosts do not exist."
