Agreed. I recently made it out of a high demand religion. When talking to my brother-in-law (still in the religion) about it, he said something along the lines of "I don't think the church is necessarily true. But I think I personally need it in order to be a good person."
Well.. of course that is what the religion you were born into, brainwashed by, and are currently paying crazy amounts of money to wants you to think. It is necessary for the churches survival.
People need to be careful about believing anything taught by an organization when that organization's very survival depends on you believing that thing.
