Fear of churches = Ecclesiophobia
The fear of churches is defined in our Phobia Dictionary as Ecclesiophobia.
Savio's Notes on this Specific Phobia
Fear of the church & religous institutions has been shown in blockbuster horror movies like Omen. This is certainly not a common phobia and instances of this type are seen very rarely.
This phobia is generally caused by little or no faith in religon & religous institutions. News about horrible priests who commit hideous crimes always sparkles this fear more. Affects both sexes equally.
Phobia Treatment & Prevention according to Savio
Fortunately you have to visit the church compulsorily only when you are born, are getting married or are dead. Control this fear by not visiting any churches in the area. Discussing your church phobia with your mate or lover is important before you get married so they can understand if you have a sudden panic attack when you two are going to tie the knot. If the mention of 'church' by a friend sends chills down your spine then it's time for you to consult a trained psychologist as quickly as possible.
