It's always been Satan's objective to keep people out of church. Some people happen to be his aides.

No, getting people to believe that going to church is going to save their soul is Satan's objective.

For most people, going to church just to go is worse than not going at all because it gives them a false sense of security.

True - to a point. Yet again, one may wish to gather to worship with believers - not for the reason you think - but because worshipping in a SANCTUARY affords a sense of peace not found in other environments.

Isn't it amazing how great a role fear plays in the lives of religious people, be they Buddhist, Muslim or Christian?

"Security through fear." What a paradox!
