You are probably answering your own question.  Given the hostile environment we live in.  And lets be clear, it has always been hostile; cell phone has just made it easier to see.

 

Church provides an outlet for the anguish we live with and promises an eternal future of bliss, if we can get through this life.

 

It gives the oppressed hope while placating the masses, and keeping them out of the business of the oppressor.

 

In the modern era some ministers have begun to use their ministry in much the same way the oppressor has, which leads to the problems you are inclined to rant about.

 

While there are many independent thinkers, people who do not need to belong, are happy not being part of a club.  Are not easily lead or manipulated.  Don't need what the church is offering.  They don't fall for ponzi schemes, they throw away chain letters, they step on cracks, and spend more time reading than on Facebook.  

 

But the majority of people very easily led, they happily drink the kool-aid.  Indeed they we would not know what to do with ourselves if it were any other way Harry.  

 

This characteristic will define humanity long after we are gone...
