Other than some goofy dogma and doctrine it can be an interesting culture..  everyone has their place..  sometimes it can seem out of place..  but that kind of depends on the churches religious view point..

Perhaps the attraction of religion is something better than the presence of beings being evaluated for economic worth.

Religion is a Latin word.  Derrida lays out the etymology of the Latin word "religion" (he acknowledges that the etymology is problematic). The etymology implies that there are "two sources" of religion: "religio," which implies a holding back or a being unscathed, safe and sound; and "re-legere," which implies a linking up with another through faith  Deconstruction, never results in good conscience, in the good conscience that comes with thinking we have done enough to render justice. This is because unconditional hospitality is too dangerous and can only come with the return of the messiah - a presence of the future.

Faith (and the difficulties of it) as pol said, in other people, is very tricky.  I am not sure we could walk on water without the delusions of language that tells us we can't, yet think we could live without the delusions of propaganda.  And have always prevented children discovering fire burns by sticking their fingers in it.

Ah yes, Peter Sellers  in "Being There" shows that lack of words can transform the world around us.
 Never got his message to Raul, but walks on water because no one told him he couldn't.
