"People of faith" would take ten years to explore by itself.

People go to church for many different reasons. A good friend of mine has become a devout Catholic in middle age because he is desperately lonely. He doesn't know that's why he has become a devout Catholic. There are probably a lot of people like him out there who become closely involved with a church for reasons that have nothing to do with faith.

Marx said that religion is the opiate of the masses. At the time opium was pretty much the only effective pain reliever available, it was considered medicine.

I think the reason people are not more suspicious of the hucksters is that life can be very painful.
