Just as you said no one reads the bible, they are just being born into this religion out of tradition.
This religious program attached itself like a parasite into traditions, culture, ethnic groups etc.
People don't question things and just go with it but if they have any spiritual concerns or questions they go to their pastor and what happens? He gives generic and shallow answers to anything, there is no depth whatsoever, it is all shallow.
Also there is a lack of alternatives on the mainstream, out of habit people just jump over to another abrahamic religion and stay there instead of doing deep research and ending up in a place like here.
It is a lie because once you want to go deeper spiritually, there is nothing there.
Then maybe you will become interested in Buddhism, which is placed there for westerners as an alternative gatekeeping religion with shiny eastern teachings, which are shallow as well.
Then maybe you will become interested in mainstream Hinduism and become a hippie traveler without shoes and visit a generic place, thinking you have achieved something.
We are so lucky to have the Joy of Satan.
