Actually, the title of your post portrays a misunderstanding of the gospel. The gospel agrees that fear of death is enslaving and comes from evil (see Hebrews 2:14-15). The gospel agrees that religion/worship purely out of fear of death (and the slavery said fear brings) is false and evil.
In fact, the gospel opposes the same organized religion you oppose.
Jesus didn't come to demand you to be his slave; He came, died, and rose to set you free from the fear of death. He did it to set you free from fear.
And He doesn't compel you to come to Him by fear, but by explanation of these simple truths.
God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all (1 John 1:5). Jesus is the propitiation (guilt-absolving sacrifice) for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:2). Fear has to do with punishment (1 John 4:18), but Christ came so that anybody who would believe Him could rest in the assurance that "there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ" (Romans 8:1). Christ came so that we could be adopted as children of the light, and receive for ourselves not a spirit of slavery that keeps us in fear, but a spirit of adoption by which we know God as our Father (Romans 8:15).
Jesus invites you to trust that He is everything you need.
