Those people would be those living in darkness.

Darkness is living with the same beliefs and fears as the ancients. One day humanity will read about modern religion in the same context as the worshipers of the gods of Olympus. They'll wonder why the same people who split the atom and conquered disease where afraid of the medieval retribution of a bronze age deity.

Eliminate the retributive father figure and the cash flow takes a huge hit. And even worse, the kids might read Harry Potter and suffer the horrific fate of growing up to be independent adults. ;)
