Meaning of uranofobia

uranofobia
  5

It is the fear of heaven, although it is also used as the fear of not being worthy of heaven. While the former would be a pathology close to acrophobia, the latter is highly debatable because it can be nothing more than a neurosis with a culpable (and religious) origin without anxiety attacks. And from the etymological point of view I can think of more objections, because the Greek word 959; 965; 961; 945; 957; 959; 962; (ouranos) describes the celestial vault or the domains of the god Uranus where all the deities of the pantheon are located, but not the place where the souls of the virtuous dead ended up (in fact, they all ended up in Hades or hell), but it is possible that in the Septuagint they translated it that way, and then it would make some sense. If anyone knows the data, they can add it here. See suffix -phobia .

It is said of the fear and/or aversion towards the concept of heaven as a place that only good people access, in which a state of anxiety is generated due to the fear and guilt of those who suffer it, since they think that they will be condemned when they die.
