He was speaking of lived human experience rather than metaphysics. And he is using "Religion" in a different way most people use it today.

The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely. (Especially if you're a mass murderer, a Nazi, a boor. )

He was speaking of the Shadow complex, here. The things we hate and deny in ourselves are what you repress and then project onto other people.
