Few take the trouble to discover what is authentic in religion and what is not. It would be a long tiring process requiring several years of extensive study involving history, theology, psychology, plus personal practice in several forms of worship, plus experience in varying moral values--and all this over wide areas of the world and through the centuries, for without knowledge of comparative religion the investigation would be an incomplete one. Ignorance is much easier. This is why scientifically minded persons become sceptics and piously minded ones become superstitious.
