Speaking of people being "afraid," Kanye West's short video "Power" sent  many people into conniptions, finding all sorts of "Satanic" references (especially the women with horns) or conspiracies of evil secret societies. Talk about different perspectives--my first reaction upon seeing it was noticing the rich Egyptian symbolism and numerous elements taken from mythology; ideas of the Judeo-Christian "devil" never even came to mind. To this day, fear of this video, and the symbols within it, has led many to believe Kanye "worships the devil." The video itself was directed by Marco Brambilla and was supposed to look like a moving painting.

As for the symbolism, per wikipedia:

The Power video commences with a portrait-view headshot of Kanye West staring intensely into the camera with illuminated eyes and wearing a large, low-hanging gold chain necklace with an equally large pendant of Horus.^[25] As the music begins, the camera slowly pans out in one continuous take to reveal West standing at the end of a hallway of black columns, and surrounded by partially-dressed female characters. Some kneel before him; some embrace; four figures wear ibex-like horns; and some are inverted, pouring water that flows upward. Two horned, staff-bearing figures, loosely resembling interpretations of Isis and Hathor, stand on either side of West; each slowly strikes the ground with their staff, in time to the music. The Sword of Damocles hangs over the rapper’s head, while other slowly-moving figures appear ready to strike West with blades. The various figures within the painting are presented in poses similar to the Major Arcana and Minor Arcana of the Etteilla occult tarot deck, including: The Devil; Judgement; The Lovers; The World; Freemasonry; The Hanged Man; The Ace of Swords/Sword of Damocles; The Page of Swords; The Seven of Wands; and The Queen of Cups.
