I used to think people joined religions because deep inside their heart they wanted to be good people.
The truth is they don’t care about being good. They just want to be right. Religion is an excellent echo chamber with strong, hearty walls to prevent any kind of reason from interfering.

Almost no one voluntarily joins religions to begin with. They’re groomed into them from childhood.
People rarely join religions. They remain in them because they’re afraid.
