Very well put...

Religious salesmanship is so transparent that one wonders how anyone past 5 can fall for it. If they were just selling nothing with no story to deny it, I can see some thinking, "well 'nothing' might be behind the curtain"; but when it comes with a fairytale that is no less absurd or primitive than any of thousands of similar fairy tales...how can any person possibly not see that the wizard is just a man??

The Wizard of Oz teaches a lesson that every adult ought to know and understand: Always ask what is behind the curtain. Those shysters are not sending you special salt or hair that they prayed over because they cannot stop loving you!

Don't ever sign anything till you find out what is behind the curtain!

It has been impossible for centuries for the religious power brokers to sell anything but an invisible suit of clothes. But the gullible and the frightened are still buying it while these charlatans dance naked in front of them.
