Contemporary religion as we see in America (and, I hesitate to call it "Christian") has become extremely lucrative. Cf such hucksters as Joel Olsteen.
Men posing as "preachers" depend upon their popularity with their respective congregations for their livelihood. They can't speak anything resembling truth for fear of being fired.
