Reminding me that once nuns dressed like Ingrid Bergman and recruited girls like crazy. After the ‘60d, they went to dressing more like nurses and then without head garb. Their numbers fell off tremendously. The symbolism was important. In the early ‘60s, a sister who was a friend of mine told me that if her order abandoned the habits, she was there. It would be as if the Marines were to abandon their distinctive garb and wear the same uniform as the Army. Small things can matter a lot. Which is why the Redskins should not give us up their nickname.
People do not look for easy lives, they look for meaningful lives that complete them. So that is one reason why Islam is attractive to some people. That is why Christianity once was attractive to some people.
The easier you make something the less people want it.
