Paganism is worshipping false gods.   Worshipping is valuing highly.   The false gods are many just as they were before Christianity cleaned up up the west.   
   ➛ money
   ➛ power
   ➛ health

Money and power are the tools needed to gratify the LustOfTheFlesh.   However, good health is necessary to be able to enjoy the things that money and power can provide.   

Because good health is so important to carnal human beings, they made them lesser gods to serve the god of health.   
   ➛ science
   ➛ researchers
   ➛ doctors
   ➛ surgeons
   ➛ medicines
   ➛ hospitals
   ➛ insurance

National Health Insurance has been a goal of socialists for some time now.   This is because they realize everyone's vulnerability to health problems.   

Unfortunately all the gods that support the good health god cost money.   Couple that with the fact that the human body breaks down over time and you have an ever increasing bill to pay in the unmanageable, impossible challenge to keep everyone alive.   

And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. Heb 2:15 People who live in fear are in bondage.     They are victims of thievery.     They are being robbed of life.      Fear is evidence of unbelief.      Jesus came to make us Free Indeed so that we can enjoy eternal, Abundant Life right now.      Fear Steals the moment.     It steals `now` leaving us hoping for a tomorrow that never comes.      Recognize it for what it is and be set free In Christ Jesus.

Yes, the fear of death has placed pagan citizenry, the society that they form and the socialist government which serves them in bondage in an attempt to avoid something that is inevitable.   

So, in the foolishness of turning away from Christ Jesus, pagans have been left in bondage to the fear of death and all that it entails.   

The bear that is chasing an unbeliever will eventually catch them.   

But not only the 'bear' of death is to be feared but also what follows:

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Heb 9:27 This is a Spiritual Law.     After our sojourn here on earth we will appear before Jesus at either the Judgment Seat Of Christ or the White Throne Judgment.

What is our hope then?    Jesus Christ
Listen to the Word Of The Lord that follows:

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Mat 11:28 Christ Jesus is our redeemer, our Saviour, our healer, our rest, our victory, our resurrection, our life and our future.     He is Mighty God!         ➛ We come to Jesus by believing His Words.         ➛ We receive His rest when we receive His Holy Spirit.      There is no other name under heaven whereby we may be saved.      All power in heaven and earth belongs to the One giving this invitation.      This loving God is the Righteous Judge.

And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.     Believest thou this? Joh 11:26 In order for us to appropriate the truly miraculous we must believe that it has already been provided 2Pe 1:3.      Death is cessation of life.     Those In Christ will never know what cessation of life is.     When their body stops functioning they will immediately, without interrupt be alive in the presence of Christ Jesus 2Co 5:8.      Contrast this with the state of all those not In Christ Jesus.     They live in fear of death and so are in bondage to it all their lives Heb 2:15.

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Joh 10:10 The thief is Satan who is the inspiration for all the evil in the world.      Whereas the `I` is Jesus who offers us Eternal Life and Abundant Life.      This verse is a powerful statement contrasting the nature of the enemy with the nature of our Lord Jesus Christ.      Note that the enemy takes by force what is ours, while we must appropriate by faith what is ours in Christ Jesus.      The appropriation is not a `one and done` thing.     Rather, it is an ongoing process throughout our lives on this earth.      Jesus has given us His life in giving us His Holy Spirit who is in every believer who has asked to be filled.     We aught to invoke His life into every aspect of our walk in the earth.

If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. Joh 8:36 Jesus has the power to deliver us from every form of bondage and to empower us to stay out of bondage.      Notice that He `makes` us free.     This is because the Old Man is unfixable.     We are Born Again of the Word by the Holy Spirit and so are made free in the New Man which is a New Spirit being.
